Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program | CMS Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program Transforming Rural Healthcare in America The Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program was authorized by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Section 71401 of Public Law 119-21) and empowers states to strengthen rural communities across America by improving healthcare access, quality, and outcomes by transforming the healthcare delivery ecosystem.
Through innovative system-wide change, the RHT Program invests in the rural healthcare delivery ecosystem for future generations.
