Michigan’s RHT Program focuses on building a strong and innovative rural health system that ensures every resident has access to high-quality care close to home. The program advances this goal through coordinated, community-driven strategies implemented across four core initiatives:
The Improving Care and Access through Transportation Program will help rural residents get the care they need by improving transportation options and bringing services closer to where people live and work. Funding will support technical assistance and community-based programs that expand access to health care and healthy lifestyle resources in rural areas with limited transportation options.
Eligible applicants include 501c3 nonprofits, for-profit organizations, private and public entities, local municipalities, local transit agencies, local health departments, health systems, health plans, community-based coalitions, community foundations, and/or other similar organizations.
