Alabama’s rural Health Transformation Program is delivering technology-enabled, sustainable, and high-quality care close to home
Alabama has secured $203 million for the first budget period of a five-year grant through the Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program, part of a historic $50 billion federal investment authorized by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Alabama’s RHT Program prioritizes transformation and sustainability, using targeted investments to enable new models of care and workforce pipelines to serve rural citizens. The program’s goal is providing healthcare transformation through healthier populations, stronger workforce and local economic resilience.
