俄亥俄州逾5500万美元联邦资金投向农村医疗：儿童视力、牙科与校园诊所三路并进
俄亥俄州州长 Mike DeWine 本周宣布，超过5500万美元的联邦农村医疗转型计划（Rural Health Transformation Program）资金将投向该州农村地区，改善儿童与家庭的医疗可及性。
州长办公室称，这笔资金将由俄亥俄州卫生厅投入三个方向：把为学龄儿童提供视力筛查与眼镜的 OhioSEE 项目扩展到全州、新设 OhioDENTAL 牙科项目、以及扩充以学校为基地的健康中心。
DeWine 说：「农村医疗转型计划帮助我们把关键医疗服务带给更多俄亥俄人。我很高兴看到成功的 OhioSEE 项目扩展到全州，这笔资金还将扩充校园健康中心、增加急需的牙科服务。」联邦医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心（CMS）主任 Dr. Mehmet Oz 表示，该计划的成功公式是「州级创新加上联邦资金支持」，CMS 乐于与各州合作建设更强韧的农村医疗体系。

Ohio Directs More Than $55 Million in Federal Funds to Rural Health Care
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced this week that more than $55 million in federal Rural Health Transformation (RTH) Program awards will improve health care accessibility for children and families in rural Ohio.
The Governor's Office said the Ohio Department of Health will invest the funds in three areas: expanding the OhioSEE vision program statewide, launching the new OhioDENTAL program, and expanding school-based health centers.
"The Rural Health Transformation Program has been instrumental in helping us to bring critical healthcare services to many more Ohioans," DeWine said. "I am so pleased to see our successful OhioSEE program expand statewide. These funds will also expand school-based health centers and increase much-needed access to dental services." Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said the program's formula is "state innovation backed by federal funds," and that CMS is excited to partner with states to build stronger, more resilient rural health systems.
