The Department of Human Services (DHS) has released a new Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) Resource Guide, which “brings together key links related to Pennsylvania and federal RHTP resources in one convenient place.” 


View the RHTP Resource Guide here.


RCPA continues to remain engaged on the front lines of this effort, including our participation in the RHTP Advisory Committee. Starting this November and moving forward, RCPA will be offering an “All-Member H.R. 1 Update” webinar that will include guidance, training, and information on H.R. 1 initiatives, such as the implementation of revised Medicaid protocols and RHTP. If you have additional questions, please contact RCPA COO Jim Sharp.


Thank you for your continued engagement and commitment to strengthening rural health across Pennsylvania.
