Cybersecurity Resilience for Rural Healthcare

Rural health systems face growing cybersecurity threats—often without the resources or infrastructure to keep up. Google’s Rural Healthcare Cybersecurity Initiative is designed specifically to help rural hospitals and clinics build resilience, protect sensitive data, and maintain uninterrupted access to patient care.

With a deep understanding of the complex challenges rural facilities face, Google provides world-class tools—from secure cloud platforms and AI-powered productivity solutions to education and incident response—all at no cost or at deeply discounted rates for eligible organizations.
