New Federal Rural Hospital Initiative

December 12, 2024

The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) is supporting a new initiative, the Rural Hospital Stabilization Program (RHSP), which is designed to assist rural hospitals in improving their financial stability and meeting community health care needs.

Administered by FORHP through a grant to the National Rural Health Resource Center, this program offers no-cost assistance to rural hospitals to enhance or expand health care services such as pulmonary rehabilitation, outpatient behavioral health services, and primary care, ensuring care remains accessible close to home. Leveraging a team of nationally recognized consultants familiar with rural hospitals, RHSP provides tailored guidance and support to help hospitals implement sustainable solutions.

An introductory webinar to the new program will take place on Wednesday, December 18 at 12:00 PM PST. Advance registration is required.
