When financial troubles turned dire, leaders of a rural hospital turned to a popular source of funding to support their efforts to get back on their feet: GoFundMe.
Crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe are popular among individuals looking for help paying their medical bills. NORC reports that over 8 million Americans have started a crowdfunding campaign for themselves or a household member to cover medical expenses. What’s more, one in five Americans have donated to a healthcare-related campaign.
