A total of $35,000,000 in RHTP funding is available to stabilize or enhance rural health care access and promote well-being through one of the following six initiatives in the Department’s federally approved RHTP application: 

  • Aging and Access 
  • Behavioral Health 
  • Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Transportation 
  • Maternal Health 
  • Technology and Infrastructure 
  • Workforce 


Qualified hospitals, health care providers, and rural health facilities are eligible for a payment for supplies and equipment that may not exceed $1,000,000 per eligible location. 



Please note this opportunity is slightly different than the first Rapid Response Stabilization funding opportunity. Please visit the RHTP Funding Opportunity page to review all instructions carefully and ensure use and submission of the required attachments.
