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. Additional information on how to apply for RHT Program funding will be released via a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), and funding will be distributed in the form of a cooperative agreement.
The RHT Program seeks to further the following Strategic Goals: Make rural America healthy again Support rural health innovations and new access points to promote preventative health and address root causes of diseases. Projects will use evidence-based, outcomes-driven interventions to improve disease prevention, chronic disease management, behavioral health, and prenatal care.
