  • State seeks piece of $50B rural hospital fund

    [ad_1]

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services launched its Rural Health Transformation Program last month, encouraging states to apply for a slice of the funding to “reimagine care delivery and develop innovative, enduring, state-driven solutions to tackle the root causes of poor health outcomes specific to rural America.”

    • United States Department of Agriculture (USDA): Kellie Kubena, USDA, and Armando Valdez, Colorado USDA
    • Broadband: Shirley Bloomfield, NTCA – The Rural Broadband Association, and Gary Johnson, Paul Bunyan Communications
    • Philanthropy: Anne Kubisch, The Ford Family Foundation, and Walter Panzirer, The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust
