QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you been affected by a rural hospital closure?

Two more rural hospitals in Mid-Missouri have closed, at least temporarily -- in Mexico and Fulton.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina who have tracked rural hospital closures say eight of them have closed in Missouri since 2005, eliminating 351 beds. And the Mexico and Fulton closures aren't the only ones to affect Mid-Missouri over the past several years.
