Rural Health Transformation Program
The Rural Health Transformation Program is part of H.R. 1, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by Congress and signed into law July 4. The $50 billion grant program runs from Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 through FY 2030, with $10 billion allocated per year across 50 states. The goal is to increase access rural health providers while improving outcomes for individuals living in rural communities.
Rural Health Transformation Program Funding Priorities Survey
MDHHS is encouraging rural health providers, community partners, Medicaid beneficiaries and rural community residents to take a survey regarding how to prioritize the funding from the Rural Health Transformation Program.
The department wants to understand how this one-time grant may help increase and improve sustainability for rural providers, and how rural providers can continue to thrive, expand, and serve their communities, especially with other predicted provider tax cuts being implemented. MDHHS will also focus on workforce challenges, recruitment, training, and retention – particularly in rural areas where challenges continue in maintaining a stable workforce. Finally, and most importantly, MDHHS will focus on how these opportunities can improve health outcomes and access for Medicaid beneficiaries and residents in rural communities.
Survey instructions:
Rural providers, community partners, Medicaid beneficiaries and rural community residents are asked to complete this survey to assist MDHHS in determining the activities the State should prioritize with the funding available.
Please complete this survey by 5 p.m., EST, Monday, Sept 22.
