堪萨斯州获2.259亿美元乡村医疗转型第二年拨款：金额居全美第六
堪萨斯州州长 Laura Kelly 11月9日宣布，堪萨斯州已获得乡村医疗转型计划（RHTP）第二年的追加拨款225,896,116.63美元（约2.259亿美元）。该计划是由联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）管理的联邦拨款，堪萨斯州的获拨金额居全美第六。
堪萨斯州在第一年工作的基础上，第二年开放了区域伙伴关系拨款计划（RPGP）、转型资本投资（CAP）拨款计划以及「社区卫生工作者＋食物即药品」（CHW+AFIM）计划的第二轮申请；新兴技术拨款计划与锚点医院提升计划（AHAP）等在第一年成功运行的项目也将继续获得资助。第二年还将推出多个新项目，包括帮助乡村居民前往就医的非紧急医疗接送拨款计划，以及面向消费者的技术计划，为患有阿尔茨海默病的乡村居民提供早期疾病教育、社区资源与护理咨询。
乡村医疗转型计划是2025年由第119届国会第1号决议案（House Resolution 1）设立的500亿美元全国计划，五年内各州按乡村医疗需求与转型举措逐年获得拨款。堪萨斯州的计划包含五大方向下的24个项目：扩大一级与二级预防、保障本地初级医疗可及、建设可持续的乡村医疗人力、实现基于价值的医疗、运用数据与技术。
Kelly 说：「我们在乡村医疗转型计划第一年已取得长足进展，要在乡村社区格外脆弱、最需要支持的时候，建成一个为所有堪萨斯人服务的医疗体系。我相信第二年将在已有进展上继续推进，提高本州乡村医疗的质量与可及性。」
据州长办公室介绍，堪萨斯州卫生与环境部（KDHE）联合老龄与残障服务部（KDADS）、堪萨斯大学卫生系统护理协作组织与堪萨斯乡村健康创新联盟等机构，第一年共实施2.22亿美元的项目，同样居全美第六，其中9,870万美元以拨款形式发给符合条件的乡村医疗机构与合作伙伴，用于新建与加强合作、改善设施、采购所需设备并落地已验证的护理技术。行为健康与残障服务是堪萨斯计划的重点之一，第一年已启动护理机构试点，支持复杂行为管理并减少抗精神病药物的不当使用。
KDHE 部长 Janet Stanek 说，第一年的要求是快速识别并落地项目、挑战不小，但堪萨斯的医疗机构已在把就近医疗做实、改造护理交付体系的路上走得很好；第二年的重点是延续势头，让这些拨款继续用于加强乡村医院、诊所、长期护理机构等。KDADS 部长 Laura Howard 表示，第一年为以更协调、更协作的体系支持乡村行为健康与残障服务打下基础，包括数据共享、接送与资源网络，以及在急诊科嵌入行为健康干预枢纽。
该计划第二年已于2026年10月31日开始，持续至2027年10月底。联邦层面的第二年拨款安排见本站今日报道特朗普政府宣布乡村医疗转型第二年100亿美元拨款：50个州全覆盖，加州获2.31亿美元。

Kansas Receives $225.9 Million for Year 2 of Rural Health Transformation Program, Sixth-Highest Award in the Nation
Governor Laura Kelly announced on November 9 that Kansas has received an additional $225,896,116.63 for Year 2 of the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), a federal grant administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Kansas received the 6th highest award in the country.
Kansas has built upon the work from Year 1 by opening a second round of funding opportunities for the Regional Partnerships Grant Program (RPGP), the Transformative Capital Investment (CAP) grant program, and the Community Health Worker + Accountable Food is Medicine (CHW+AFIM) program. The Emerging Technology grant program and the Anchor Hospital Advancement Program (AHAP), among other programs, will also receive funding following a successful first year. Several new RHTP projects will launch in Year 2, including the non-emergent medical transportation grant program, designed to help rural Kansans get to their medical appointments, and the consumer facing technologies program, which will provide early-stage disease education, community resources, and care consultations for rural Kansans with Alzheimer's.
The RHTP is a $50 billion nationwide program established by House Resolution 1 in 2025. Over five years, states will receive annual funding based on rural health needs and transformative initiatives. Kansas' plan includes 24 programs across five key initiatives: expand primary and secondary prevention programs, secure local access to primary care, build a sustainable rural health workforce, enable value-based care, and harness data and technology.
'We've taken great strides in Year 1 of the Rural Health Transformation Program to build a health care system that works for all Kansans - regardless of zip code - at a time when rural communities are particularly vulnerable and need support the most,' Governor Laura Kelly said. 'I am confident Year 2 of the RHTP will build upon the progress we've made to improve quality of and access to rural health care in our state.'
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), in partnership with the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS), the University of Kansas Health System Care Collaborative, the Kansas Rural Health Innovation Alliance (KRHIA), and other health organizations across the state, implemented Year 1 programs totaling $222 million, the sixth largest award in the country. Programs implemented in Year 1 include $98.7 million in grants to eligible providers and partners in rural communities for projects that will build new, and enhance existing, partnerships, help providers make improvements to their facilities and buy needed equipment, as well as implement proven technologies to improve care delivery. Behavioral health and disability services in rural areas are a key focus of the Kansas RHTP.
'The requirements to quickly identify and implement projects in Year 1 were challenging, but through effective collaboration, Kansas providers are well on their way to executing enhanced access to care close to home, and transforming the care delivery system for rural communities,' KDHE Secretary Janet Stanek said. KDADS Secretary Laura Howard said Year 1 set the stage for transforming how behavioral health and disability services in rural Kansas are supported through a more coordinated, collaborative system. The second year of the RHTP began Oct. 31, 2026, and will run through the end of October 2027.
