The Trump administration announced a $76 million investment to improve rural healthcare networks and deliver technology-enhanced primary care services in New York.
The funding, delivered through the Rural Health Transformation Program, will support integrated care networks allowing rural hospitals and community providers to coordinate services and expand access to healthcare, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said.
The investment will also address rural healthcare workforce needs through expanded clinical rotations, employer-based training programs, and remote-supported training technologies.
According to the administration, the funding supports strengthening partnerships and care coordination among rural providers; expanding access to comprehensive healthcare services; improving coordination across the continuum of care; supporting collaborative models to improve health outcomes; and building more sustainable rural healthcare systems.
The investment was made possible through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, passed by Republicans in Congress.
