Montana Wins $239.7 Million in Second-Year Rural Health Transformation Funding, Third-Highest in the Nation
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte and the state Department of Public Health and Human Services announced in Helena on November 9 that Montana has received $239,740,669 in second-year Rural Health Transformation Program funding, the third-highest award in the nation and the third-largest increase over the first year.
Department Director Dr. Douglas Harrington said second-year priorities include launching a Center of Excellence, grants to modernize electronic health records, expanded tribal health care, and education partnerships to recruit, train and retain health care workers.
Montana is a largely rural state where small hospitals and clinics are often the only source of care for their communities. State officials said the funding will help stabilize rural providers, upgrade information systems and improve care in tribal communities.
