The Trump Administration announced more than $11 million in federal funding for rural emergency medical services and mobile health programs in New Hampshire. The investment will support mobile health initiatives that bring healthcare services directly to rural communities and help EMS agencies respond to rising call volumes and workforce pressures, with funding to create and expand mobile healthcare programs and partnerships among municipalities, EMS agencies and rural hospitals.
The money comes through the Rural Health Transformation Program. The funding was made possible through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.
Gov. Kelly Ayotte said the investment will "ensure our rural EMS system is strong, reliable, and sustainable while developing new ways to reach patients through Mobile Integrated Health." CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said the award represents "federal investment that is putting patients first, driving lasting improvements and expanding healthcare for the hardworking Americans" in rural communities.
The program will focus on building the rural healthcare workforce, strengthening rural facilities, advancing innovative care models, expanding community-based and preventive care, and modernizing healthcare technology.
