The Healey-Driscoll Administration is preparing an application for funding from the federal government’s Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program.

The application must outline how Massachusetts will use the funds for investments that will transform the way care is delivered in rural communities, as defined by the State Office of Rural Health. EOHHS is seeking public input for its application on how to improve healthcare access, quality, and outcomes in rural communities: COMMBUYS - Bid Solicitation.

As outlined in the above link, all responses must be submitted to EOHHS by 4PM on October 9, 2025 to [email protected] and [email protected]

Earlier this year, Congress allocated $50 billion to the RHT Program to “empower states to strengthen rural communities across America by improving healthcare access, quality, and outcomes by transforming the healthcare delivery ecosystem. Through innovative system-wide change, the RHT Program invests in the rural healthcare delivery ecosystem for future generations.” More information about the funding is available here: Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program | CMS.
