The Frontier Extended Stay Clinic Model: A potential health care delivery alternative for small rural communities

Key Findings
  • The Frontier Extended Stay Clinic (FESC) demonstration project provided expanded emergency services and extended clinic stays to remote rural communities. 
  • Although the FESC demonstration ended this year, the FESC model may be appropriate in rural communities other than the five original demonstration sites. 
  • FESCs may also be alternatives to very low-volume rural hospitals.
