This toolkit is designed to help transportation, health, and community partners understand the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) and identify where their services can support statewide health transformation efforts. Throughout the sections of the toolkit you will find background information, examples of how states are using RHTP funds and practical guidance for aligning your services with the priorities of your state and emerging rural health models.
One of the most important sections of the toolkit is the Interactive State Map and Strategy Resource Guide, where you can access state-specific information including award amounts, current strategies, open RFPs and contact information for your state’s RHTP lead. Because funding is moving rapidly and must be obtained on a tight timeline, the map helps you quickly see where opportunities exist and how you can engage.
Other sections of the toolkit provide information to deepen your understanding of the program, learn about implementation strategies, innovative solutions to rural health access and get a peek at the approaches some states have already applied.
