The 'One Big Beautiful Bill' included significant reductions to Medicaid funding over the next decade, and rural health care providers are expected to bear a disproportionate share of these spending cuts.
Fortunately, the federal government is simultaneously making a historic $50 billion investment over the next five years to strengthen delivery and improve health care access in rural communities through the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). RHTP grants will be a critical lifeline to rural providers, and applicants will need to understand the complex administration of this state-administered program.
Join Grants Office for this timely Grantscast, where we’ll break down the key components of the program, timelines, and what that might mean for rural providers of health services.
Whether you represent a health system, critical access hospital, community clinic, tribal health provider, local government, or other types of health professionals that serve rural areas, this session will help you understand the impact on rural health delivery and the innovations that may be possible under this transformative new program.
