The Trump administration is investing $74 million in rural healthcare improvements in New Mexico through the Rural Health Transformation Program, officials announced.
The funding will support six Regional Hub Organizations, led by Healthy Horizons, that will coordinate with local providers to expand access to specialty care, maternal health services, behavioral health, and chronic disease treatment in rural, frontier, and tribal communities. The investment comes from the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, passed by Congress earlier this year.
"President Trump understands that every American deserves high-quality healthcare, no matter where they live," said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "We are putting resources directly into rural communities to strengthen the health workforce, modernize infrastructure, expand access, and bring care closer to home."
New Mexico's broader strategy includes workforce development, technology expansion including telehealth and remote patient monitoring, and support for rural provider sustainability.
