Texas Receives $281,976,026 in Second-Year Rural Health Transformation Funding, the Largest State Award
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced in Washington on November 9 that the Rural Health Transformation Program's second year will distribute $10 billion across all 50 states, with Texas receiving $281,976,026, the largest state award.
The funding is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and supports rural hospitals, clinics and community providers in improving services, recruiting clinicians and upgrading facilities. Texas has one of the nation's largest rural geographies and rural hospital counts, and the state has been coordinating federal rural health funds through its Texas Rural Strong framework.
The Rural Health Transformation Program is a five-year federal program funded by the $50 billion rural health investment in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act; second-year awards cover all 50 states.
HHS said states must use the funds under their approved state plans and report regularly on improvements in rural access and quality of care. (Source: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services)
