New England is the newest region to embrace CALS as a program for improving rural health outcomes and quality. Guy Nuki, MD of Bluewater Emergency Partners, approached CALS in 2017 about conducting a course for the critical access hospitals in Maine. Feedback from hospital clinical leaders who attended was overwhelmingly positive, indicating that CALS would be a valuable course for all rural and community hospitals.

CALS has been provided across several New England states, including Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont.
