Health & WellnessHealthcare deserts in 2025: 80% of the country lacks healthcare access
In 2025, an alarming 80% of Americans are living in healthcare deserts—regions with severely limited access to basic medical services, clinics, and providers. These areas span both rural and urban landscapes, leaving millions without preventive care, emergency treatment, or chronic disease management. The result? Worsening health disparities, delayed diagnoses, and avoidable suffering. As the crisis deepens, it's critical to raise awareness and push for healthcare equity and infrastructure reform across the country.
