How Eastern Plumas Health Care is protecting cash, care quality, and community access, and how you can, too.

The Problem

Rural hospitals are running out of runway. 
 
Margins are tightening, cash reserves are falling, and leaders are asked to do more with less, while compliance demands, payer delays, and cyber threats keep growing. 

For many administrators, the next fiscal year feels like a guessing game: Where can we save without sacrificing care? 
 
How do we meet new mandates and still make payroll? 

The Guide

Doug McCoy, CEO of Eastern Plumas Health Care, knows that reality firsthand. Alongside Medical Director Dr. Paul Swanson, they’ve spent the past 24 months redesigning how a rural health system manages cash, compliance, and care. 

Together with Intelligent Technical Solutions (ITS), a HealthIT managed security and IT partner serving healthcare organizations nationwide, they’re sharing what’s working right now. 

The Plan

In this 60-minute session, you’ll learn: 

• The three operational plays that stabilized EPHC’s cash flow and reduced revenue leakage. 
• How to turn quality measures into funding instead of penalties. 
  
• How cybersecurity and data visibility protect operations and compliance in 2026 and beyond. 

You’ll walk away with: 

• A downloadable Rural Readiness Checklist to audit your own organization. 
• A private link to schedule a follow-up consultation with ITS to map funding and risk reduction opportunities. 

The Stakes

Do nothing and risk missing funding windows, QIP bonuses, and critical revenue recoveries. 
Act now and gain control over cash flow, quality scores, and cyber resilience before the next wave of regulatory change hits.
