Grant Description

The Rural Hospital Provider Assistance Program provides direct financial assistance to eligible small hospitals to help stabilize operations and sustain access to care in financially vulnerable communities.

The program is designed to provide targeted support to hospitals facing structural payment disadvantages, with the goal of maintaining essential services and preventing avoidable closures.
