What "At Risk": Really Means: The Quiet Collapse of Rural Hospitals
<p>Ten hospitals in Virginia have been labeled “at risk” of closure. But what does that actually mean, and how close are they to shutting their doors?</p><p>In this episode of The Cardinal: News of Virginia, host Dutchie Jessee talks with healthcare reporter Emily Schabacker to break down the data behind the headlines. Drawing from her reporting at Cardinal News, Emily explains why “at risk” is not the same as closing, and how federal policy changes, funding shifts, and patient trends are putting real pressure on rural hospitals.</p><p>For many communities, the impact is already being felt. Services are being cut. Travel times are getting longer. Access to emergency care is becoming less certain. The bigger question is not just whether hospitals will close, but what happens if they cannot keep up.</p><p>Listen now for a clear look at what is happening and what it could mean for rural Virginia.</p>

All Bets on Danville: Has the Casino Paid Off?
<p>What happens when a billion-dollar casino lands in the middle of a small city?</p><p>This week on The Cardinal: News of Virginia, host Dutchie Jessee sits down with Danville reporter Grace Mamon to unpack the real impact of Caesars Virginia — beyond the flashing lights and headline numbers. Since opening its full resort in late 2024, the casino has brought jobs, visitors, and tax revenue to Danville, but the ripple effects aren’t reaching every corner of the community equally.</p><p>Grace shares what she’s hearing from business owners on the ground—from those seeing a surge in foot traffic just steps from the casino, to others in the River District still waiting for that promised boost. They also dig into what Caesars and the city are doing next to connect visitors with the broader community—and whether optimism is holding strong or starting to wear thin.</p>
