爱达荷州农村健康转型计划第一年1.86亿美元获奖名单公布：五年近10亿美元
爱达荷州 Boise——州长 Brad Little 10月28日公布农村健康转型计划（RHTP）在爱达荷州的第一年获奖名单，第一年资金总额1.86亿美元、精确金额185,974,367.81美元，全部由联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）与联邦卫生与公众服务部（HHS）出资；该计划五年内将为爱达荷州带来近10亿美元投入，用于加强农村地区的医疗服务。
这笔资金来自 H.R.1 法案《Working Families Tax Cuts Act》设立的全国500亿美元农村健康转型计划，由 CMS 负责主管，各州按计划分年获得拨款。爱达荷州第一年的资金按五大方向分配：一、以技术改善农村就医通达；二、推广创新照护模式；三、加强医疗人力招募、培训与留任；四、针对特定人群的循证预防与慢病管理；五、投资农村医疗基础设施与伙伴关系。Little 说：「对许多爱达荷家庭——尤其在农村地区——负担得起、可及的医疗是实实在在的关切，这笔投资把资源放到最需要的地方。」CMS 主任 Mehmet Oz 说，该计划的理念是「你获得优质医疗的机会，不该取决于你住在哪个邮编」。该计划的州级申请由爱达荷州卫生与福利厅（DHW）在 Little 州长2025年以行政令设立的农村健康工作组参与下提交，筹备期间做过覆盖全州各县的500份公众问卷。
州长办公室公布的代表性获奖项目包括：爱达荷州聋盲教育服务机构获897,788美元，用于移动听力诊所；Bonner General 医院获约580万美元；Benewah 社区医院获约665万美元；Mountain View 医院获2,255,219美元，用于移动诊所。Little 与 CMS 主任 Mehmet Oz 等联邦与州官员均就这笔投入发表了意见，强调资金将用于把医疗服务送到农村居民身边。

Idaho Announces $186 Million in First-Year Rural Health Transformation Awards, Part of Nearly $1 Billion Over Five Years
Boise, Idaho — Governor Brad Little announced on October 28 the first-year award recipients under the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) in Idaho. First-year funding totals $186 million — precisely $185,974,367.81 — provided entirely by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Over five years, the program will bring nearly $1 billion to Idaho to strengthen health care in rural communities.
The funding comes from the national $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program established under H.R.1, the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, and administered by CMS, with states receiving allocations over the life of the program. Idaho's first-year awards are distributed across five focus areas to rural health providers and service projects around the state.
Representative awards announced by the governor's office include $897,788 to the Idaho Educational Services for the Deaf and the Blind for a mobile audiology clinic; about $5.8 million to Bonner General; about $6.65 million to Benewah Community Hospital; and $2,255,219 to Mountain View Hospital for a mobile clinic. Little and federal officials including CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz commented on the investment, emphasizing that the funds will bring care closer to rural residents.
The five Year 1 initiatives are: improving rural access to care through technology; expanding innovative care models; strengthening workforce recruitment, training and retention; supporting population-specific, evidence-based prevention and chronic disease efforts; and investing in rural health infrastructure and partnerships. "For many Idaho families – especially in rural areas – affordable, accessible health care is a real concern," Governor Little said. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said the program is based on "one simple idea: your access to quality health care shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code." Other announced awards include about $4.89 million for St. Mary’s in Cottonwood (including an MRI purchase), $6.65 million for Benewah Community Hospital in St. Maries, $1.53 million for a Shine Dental mobile dental clinic, $2,255,219 for Mountain View Hospital’s mobile clinic in eastern Idaho, $1,237,795 for two rural opioid-use-disorder medication units, and $1.59 million for a St. Luke’s mobile CT screening program.
