An important component of the organization is the corporate category
of membership for the many companies/organizations providing products
and services for rural hospitals. We understand that rural healthcare
is a unique business. It takes special companies to work with small
hospitals to provide the goods and services necessary to operate in
this challenging environment.

efficiently by making sound buying decisions.
TORCH provides its hospital members with a group of corporate members
who are experienced in working with small hospitals, who know the
special needs of rural areas, and who endeavor to provide valuable
services.
