Kansas Funding Milestone

Kansas Opens $55M in Year 2 RHTP Grants: $44M Regional Partnerships, $11M Capital, Due Nov. 13

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment opened two Year 2 RHTP grant programs on October 2: the $44 million Regional Partnership Grant Program, which funds collaborative arrangements around prevention, provider sustainability, workforce, value-based care and technology, and the $11 million Transformative Capital Investment Grant Program, whose final amount is pending CMS approval of the Year 2 budget. Eligible applicants include Kansas hospitals, physician practices, rural health clinics, FQHCs, local health departments, tribal health facilities, CCBHCs, substance-use disorder facilities and long-term care facilities. Applications for both are due November 13, 2026, and KDHE hosts an informational webinar October 9 at 10 a.m.

MIH-CP relevance: EMS agencies aren’t on the eligible list, so Kansas community paramedicine programs should look at joining a hospital, clinic or health department applicant on a Regional Partnership grant, which is built around collaborative arrangements.

South Dakota Funding Milestone

CMS Announces $7.2M for Ambulance-Based Telemedicine and Emergency Communications Across 25 South Dakota EMS Projects

CMS announced $7.2 million in South Dakota RHTP funding for 25 projects that expand ambulance-based telemedicine, train the EMS workforce, set up patient data sharing between EMS crews and hospitals, modernize dispatch and communications systems, and support data-driven quality improvement. South Dakota is positioned to receive more than $189 million from RHTP over five years.

MIH-CP relevance: This is one of the most EMS-specific RHTP announcements to date. Telemedicine in the ambulance and EMS-to-hospital data sharing are the same building blocks community paramedicine programs use for treat-in-place and post-discharge visits, so South Dakota agencies should find out which of the 25 projects cover their region.

Michigan Funding Milestone

Michigan Has Allocated $124.6M in RHTP Direct Grants to 236 Subrecipients, $48.4M Still to Award

Bridge Michigan reported that the state has allocated $124.6 million in RHTP direct grants, approved by CMS, to 236 subrecipients, with $48.4 million of Michigan’s roughly $173 million award left for later grant-funded opportunities. Larger recipients include the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (about $26 million), the Michigan Health and Hospital Association ($8.6 million), tribal entities (about $8.7 million), and the Michigan Center for Rural Health ($7.2 million). The state must obligate funds by October 30.

MIH-CP relevance: With $48.4 million still unallocated and one of Michigan’s initiatives aimed at increasing access to home-based services, Michigan community paramedicine programs should watch MDHHS for the next round of grant-funded opportunities.

Alabama Funding Milestone

Alabama Awards Second RHTP Round: 34 Grants, Nearly $55M, Including EMS Treat-in-Place and Trauma/Stroke Coordination

Gov. Kay Ivey and CMS announced 34 grants totaling nearly $55 million in Alabama’s second round of 2026 RHTP funding. The awards span five initiatives: Cancer Digital Regionalization, Statewide EMS Trauma and Stroke, EMS Treat in Place, Maternal and Fetal Health, and Simulation Training. Projects will equip at least 20 rural hospitals with emergency labor and delivery resources and build workforce pipelines for physicians, nurses, EMS professionals, midwives, and dental professionals. This follows the first round of more than $144 million across 138 grants in August.

MIH-CP relevance: EMS Treat in Place is a named, funded initiative here, which makes Alabama one of the clearest examples of a state paying for the treat-in-place model that community paramedicine programs run. Alabama EMS agencies should check whether they are among the 34 recipients and how the initiative will be structured going forward.

Federal Rural-Designation Maps May Exclude Several Virginia Counties From RHTP Funds

Reporting from WVTF found that federal rural-designation maps could exclude a handful of Virginia counties — including Rockingham, Augusta, Bedford, Campbell, Amherst, and Goochland — from the state’s roughly $190M RHTP fund. Gov. Spanberger’s administration has requested revised maps; all RHT funds must be allocated by the end of October 2026.

MIH-CP relevance: MIH-CP programs in the flagged counties should confirm their service area’s designation status directly with the state before assuming eligibility for any RHTP-funded opportunity.

New Mexico

New Mexico Closes Applications for RHT Program Stakeholder Advisory Committee

The NM Health Care Authority closed applications for its RHT Program Stakeholder Advisory Committee, which seats patients, providers, Tribal partners, and community leaders to guide the state’s $211.5M program.

MIH-CP relevance: A seat on this committee is a direct line to shaping New Mexico’s RHTP priorities — MIH-CP leaders who missed this round should watch for the next advisory-body opening.

Vermont Funding Milestone

Vermont Distributes First $11.7M of Its $195M RHTP Award

Vermont released the first $11.7 million of its RHTP award: $9 million to the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation for healthcare-field tuition assistance (with a five-year rural work commitment), and $2.7 million split among three nursing homes and training institutions.

MIH-CP relevance: The tuition-assistance structure — funding tied to a rural work commitment — is a workforce-pipeline model MIH-CP programs could propose adapting for community paramedic training.

Alaska Funding Milestone

Alaska Awards Fifth Round of RHTP Funding, $25.8M to 32 Projects

Alaska’s Dept. of Health announced a fifth round of RHTP awards — $25.8 million across 32 projects spanning health access, nutrition, telehealth, infrastructure, and workforce — bringing the state’s total awarded to more than $207 million of its $272M FY26 allocation. Roughly $65 million remains ahead of the federal Oct. 30, 2026 obligation deadline.

MIH-CP relevance: With ~$65M still unawarded and a hard October deadline, Alaska MIH-CP programs have a narrow but real window to get a proposal in before the money is committed elsewhere.

Louisiana CMS Guidance

Louisiana Named to CMS Rural Tech Catalyst Fund Cohort, ~$20M for Health Tech

Louisiana was confirmed as one of eight states in the CMS Rural Tech Catalyst Fund (RTCF) cohort, directing roughly 10% of its RHTP allotment — about $20 million in Year 1 — toward rural healthtech companies. Louisiana Innovation and LDH are vetting applicants, with milestone awards up to $3 million per company and grantee announcements expected mid-September.

MIH-CP relevance: If your MIH-CP program works with a health-tech vendor on interoperability or care coordination tools, this is a direct funding path for that vendor to pursue in Louisiana.

New York Receives $76.2M Through Rural Community Health Integration Initiative

Rep. Nick Langworthy and CMS announced $76.2 million in RHTP funding through New York’s Rural Community Health Integration (RCHI) initiative for Western New York and the Southern Tier: roughly $22.7 million in planning awards, $53.5 million in implementation awards, and $1 million for School-Based Health Centers. Budget Period 1 funds must be obligated by Oct. 30, 2026 and spent by Sept. 30, 2027.

MIH-CP relevance: RCHI’s explicit focus on care integration is squarely in MIH-CP territory — Western NY and Southern Tier programs should be in direct contact with implementation-award recipients now.

Rhode Island CMS Guidance

CMS Announces $5.48M for Rhode Island Rural Workforce Pipeline

CMS announced $5.48 million to strengthen Rhode Island’s rural healthcare workforce pipeline, funding 14 local education agencies to expand healthcare-focused Career and Technical Education — including $928,574 for a K-12 biomedical/EMS learning-center pathway and $1,360,343 for a PT/OT clinic and middle-school wellness initiative.

MIH-CP relevance: A K-12 EMS learning-center pathway is a rare, early-stage pipeline opportunity — Rhode Island MIH-CP programs should reach out to the funded LEAs about co-designing a community-paramedicine unit.

Sep

West Virginia Funding Milestone

Gov. Morrisey Announces First West Virginia RHTP Implementation Awards, $2.4M

Gov. Morrisey announced West Virginia’s first RHTP implementation awards: roughly $2.4 million for worksite clinics and employer-based healthcare under the Health to Prosperity initiative — Spotted Owl Healthcare Org ($1,174,000), CAMC/Vandalia Health ($612,000), and Cabell Huntington Foundation ($612,000).

MIH-CP relevance: Employer-based worksite clinics are a natural referral partner for MIH-CP programs looking to catch patients before an ED visit — worth reaching out to the three named recipients directly.

2026

Nevada Funding Milestone

Nevada Reports Nearly $150M in RHTP Awards Distributed to Date

The Nevada Health Authority reported nearly $150 million in RHTP awards distributed so far, covering 158 projects across 17 counties — including roughly $5 million for rural medical residency expansion, $32 million-plus for provider recruitment and retention, and $14 million-plus for workforce pipelines, against the state’s $180M Year 1 allocation.

MIH-CP relevance: With workforce and recruitment dollars this large already moving, Nevada MIH-CP programs should confirm whether any of the 158 funded projects already touch their service area before proposing something duplicative.

North Carolina

NC Health News Flags RHTP Transparency Gaps, Using North Carolina as a Case Study

North Carolina Health News reported that CMS won’t proactively publish state-level RHTP progress reports, using NC’s $213M award (~$61 per rural resident, second-lowest per-capita nationally) as a case study; national groups including AHA, the Federation of American Hospitals, the Bipartisan Policy Center, and Cato are pushing for subrecipient-level tracking. The piece also notes NC’s 40-member advisory committee holds quarterly public, livestreamed meetings, and that the state directed $10 million to 39 EMS agencies for substance-use-disorder support this summer.

MIH-CP relevance: The $10M EMS/SUD allocation to 39 agencies is worth checking directly — if your program partners with one of them, there may already be RHTP dollars flowing into your co-responder or diversion work.

Virginia Receives $122M CMS Disbursement That Explicitly Names Community Paramedics

CMS announced Aug. 28 that Virginia will receive $122 million — part of the state’s $189.5 million FY26 RHTP award — to expand healthcare access, workforce pipelines, and technology innovation. The disbursement funds remote patient monitoring, virtual care, mobile clinics, maternal care, and increased community paramedics.

MIH-CP relevance: This is one of the first RHTP announcements nationally to name community paramedics explicitly — Virginia MIH-CP programs should treat it as a direct signal to engage state officials on scope and eligibility before disbursement details are finalized.

Oklahoma Funding Milestone

Oklahoma Reports Progress on All 29 RHTP Programs, $3M+ in Microgrants Awarded

Oklahoma officials told KGOU (Oklahoma NPR) that work has begun on all 29 of the state’s RHTP programs, with over $3 million in Microgrants awarded across 68 of Oklahoma’s 75 rural counties. Sixty rural pre-K–12 schools received $10,000 grants for presidential fitness testing, and 20 organizations were notified of "Regional Reorientation" awards with five regional facilitators now in place. The state must obligate all Year 1 funds by Oct. 30, 2026.

MIH-CP relevance: The new Regional Reorientation facilitator network is a natural on-ramp for MIH-CP programs to connect with state RHTP staff before Oklahoma’s second-year funding amount is set in October.

2026

Wyoming Funding Milestone

Johnson County Healthcare Center Reveals $4.7M in Wyoming RHTP Sub-Awards

Johnson County Healthcare Center CEO Luke Senden told the hospital board that JCHC received 2 of the 3 RHTP grant applications it submitted, totaling $4.7 million. It’s the first local sub-award reveal from Wyoming’s roughly $205 million statewide allocation, which the state’s advisory panel divided among applicants in mid-August.

MIH-CP relevance: Local sub-award reveals like this one are worth tracking individually — they show which specific facilities are actually receiving funds and can surface MIH-CP partnership opportunities before a state issues its full recipient list.

Aug

27

2026

Arkansas Funding Milestone

Arkansas Awards $149.3M in First-Round RHTP Grants, Including $2.98M for Maternal Mobile Clinics

Gov. Sanders announced $149.3 million in first-round RHTP grants to 50 recipients — $55.7 million via THRIVE and $93.6 million via PACT — with two more branded initiatives still to be announced. UAMS separately received $11.99 million across four sub-projects, including $2.98 million for Arkansas Pregnancy Care Connect maternal mobile clinics and $5.4 million for SPARK, a rural stroke pathway spanning 63 hospitals and EMS agencies.

MIH-CP relevance: SPARK’s 63-hospital/EMS-agency stroke pathway and the maternal mobile clinic funding are both squarely MIH-CP territory — Arkansas programs should look for a role in either network now that awards are public.

Aug

27

2026

Georgia Funding Milestone

Georgia Receives $93.3M More for Telehealth, Surgical Robotics at 87 Rural Hospitals

CMS announced a further $93.3 million for Georgia’s GREAT Health program on Aug. 27, funding telehealth, surgical robotics, and AHEAD-aligned value-based care readiness at 87 rural hospitals. The tranche also covers paramedic/EMT training, maternal health integration, newborn screening, and dementia care capacity, and is reported to complete the state’s full Year 1 GREAT Health award.

MIH-CP relevance: The explicit paramedic/EMT training line item makes this the clearest MIH-CP funding signal in Georgia’s program to date — worth flagging directly to Georgia stakeholders already in the GREAT Health pipeline.

Michigan Funding Milestone

Michigan Gets $25M for Tech Innovation Pillar — Interoperability, Telehealth Expansion

CMS announced $25 million for Michigan’s RHTP Tech Innovation Pillar on Aug. 27 — more than $16 million to the Office of Rural Prosperity’s Rural Tech Innovation Fund and over $9 million to the Michigan High-Speed Internet Office’s Access and Connectivity Fund. The funding targets digital systems upgrades, data exchange/interoperability, and expanded telehealth and remote patient monitoring.

MIH-CP relevance: Interoperability funding at this scale is a direct opening for MIH-CP programs in Michigan to push for data-sharing connections into the state’s broader RHTP technology backbone.

Aug

2026

Ohio Funding Milestone

Ohio Gets $3.15M to Expand Pharmacy Connectivity Across 73 Rural Counties

CMS announced $3.15 million for Ohio on Aug. 26 — $2 million to the Ohio Pharmacists Association for health information exchange integration and $1.15 million to the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy to integrate the state’s OARRS controlled-substance database — covering all 73 of Ohio’s rural counties.

MIH-CP relevance: OARRS integration gives MIH-CP crews real-time visibility into controlled-substance history at the point of care — a meaningful safety upgrade for community paramedics responding to overdose and behavioral health calls in rural Ohio.

Aug

25

2026

Alaska Funding Milestone

Alaska’s First RHTP Tranche Brings $160M for Drones, AI Stroke Imaging, Robotic Surgery

CMS announced Alaska’s first RHTP funding tranche on Aug. 25 — $160 million across 142 projects statewide. Highlights include $6.5 million for the state’s first robotic-assisted surgery capability in Southern Southeast Alaska, $5 million for a tribally-led behavioral health/addiction treatment campus, $3.1 million for AI-powered stroke imaging at 21 hospitals, and $250,000 to design a drone-based prescription delivery framework across roughly 94,000 square miles.

MIH-CP relevance: Alaska’s extreme geography makes it a bellwether for what mobile/remote care technology RHTP will fund elsewhere — MIH-CP programs in similarly frontier regions should watch how the drone delivery framework develops.

Aug

25

2026

Alabama Funding Milestone

Alabama Awards First RHTP Grant Tranche: $144M+ to 138 Grants Across 80 Institutions

Alabama announced its first ARHTP grant tranche this week — more than $144 million across 138 grants to 80 institutions, covering 5 of the program’s 11 initiatives (Rural Health, Rural Workforce, Mental Health, Rural Health Practice, and Collaborative EHR/IT/Cybersecurity). Awards for the remaining initiatives are still in process.

MIH-CP relevance: With behavioral health and EMS-adjacent initiatives among the first funded, Alabama MIH-CP stakeholders should confirm whether their organizations are among the 80 recipients before the next award round is announced.

West Virginia Funding Milestone

West Virginia Releases Final Rural Health Link Funding Opportunity — Up to $7.1M

Gov. Morrisey announced up to $7.1 million in shared-pool funding on Aug. 25 — described as the final funding opportunity released under West Virginia’s Rural Health Link initiative, intended to build a statewide network of regional hubs and mobility coordinators.

MIH-CP relevance: "Mobility coordinators" is close-cousin language to community paramedicine — West Virginia MIH-CP programs should get in front of this opportunity before it closes, since it’s billed as the last one under this initiative.

Aug

2026

Missouri Funding Milestone

Missouri Extends $40M ToRCH Rural Hospital Infrastructure Grant Deadline to September 1

The Missouri Department of Social Services issued Amendment #01 to IFB #DSS26015, pushing back the bid deadline for its ToRCH Care Smart Growth and Service Line Modification (Horizon 2) program from August 28 to 2 p.m. September 1. The opportunity offers individual grants of up to $5 million for one-time infrastructure investments in maternal health, behavioral health, or diagnostics/outpatient care, with nearly $40 million available across program years 1 and 2. Applicants must register through the MissouriBuys portal.

MIH-CP relevance: Behavioral health and diagnostics/outpatient infrastructure are squarely in MIH-CP territory — the extra week is worth using to align a joint proposal with a rural hospital partner before the new deadline.

Pennsylvania Funding Milestone

Pennsylvania Opens $35M Rapid Response Stabilization Round 2 — Applications Due August 24

Pennsylvania's Department of Human Services opened a second Rapid Response Stabilization window, offering $1 million per eligible rural location (supplies and equipment only) from a $35 million pool, running August 17 through August 24 at 11:59 p.m. or until the funding cap is met. It follows two earlier PA RHTP rounds that have already closed: an EHR & HIO Modernization opportunity ($25M, closed Aug. 14) and an FQHC & FQHC Look-Alikes program ($1.8M, closed Aug. 7).

MIH-CP relevance: Equipment-only funding can cover mobile response supplies for eligible rural locations — but the window is short, so Pennsylvania MIH-CP partners should confirm eligibility with DHS immediately rather than waiting for a future round.

Texas State Activity

Texas RHTP Rollout Draws "Excitement and Confusion" as Hospitals Face 30-Day Turnarounds

Governing reported that Texas's Rural Health Transformation Program rollout has moved quickly but unevenly, with some hospitals given as little as 30 days between a funding opportunity's release and a final project submission. Separately, HHSC's second round of the "Next Generation of the Small Town Doctor and Team" initiative, released July 15, has applications due August 26, 2026.

MIH-CP relevance: The compressed timelines mean Texas MIH-CP programs should treat every NOFO release as time-sensitive from day one rather than waiting for a formal announcement cycle.

Aug

11

2026

Florida Funding Milestone

Florida Distributes $188M in RHTP Awards; Calhoun Liberty Hospital Leads 7-Hospital Partnership

Governor DeSantis announced $188 million in Rural Health Transformation Program awards to organizations across Florida's 31 rural counties, part of the state's $209 million Year 1 allocation. Calhoun Liberty Hospital Association received nearly $16 million across three bundles — Specialty and Acute Care ($11.2M), Preventive Care and Care-at-Home ($4.1M), and Rural and Satellite Clinics ($650K) — and will lead a regional partnership connecting seven independent rural hospitals.

MIH-CP relevance: The Preventive Care and Care-at-Home bundle is a direct funding line for MIH-CP-style services — Florida programs in the Calhoun Liberty partnership area should reach out about subcontracting opportunities.

Aug

2026

Maryland Funding Milestone

Maryland Awards $80M in First Round of RHTP Grants to 41 Recipients

The Maryland Department of Health announced its first round of Rural Health Transformation Program awards August 10, 2026: $80 million distributed to 41 recipients to expand primary care, behavioral health, and dental services across the state's 18 designated rural jurisdictions, while working to curb overall healthcare costs. The awards draw from Maryland's $168 million Year 1 RHTP allocation.

MIH-CP relevance: Maryland MIH-CP programs should check whether their local health department or regional partner is among the 41 recipients — behavioral health and primary care access dollars often fund the referral partners community paramedicine programs depend on.

Aug

10

2026

Arizona Funding Milestone

Arizona Releases New RHTP Grant for Health Insurance Navigation — Applications Due August 20

AHCCCS and ADHS released an additional Rural Health Transformation Program grant opportunity focused on helping rural Arizonans navigate health insurance enrollment and connect with healthcare, substance-use treatment, and other community services. It's open to nonprofits, community health centers, rural health clinics, hospitals, academic institutions, local governments, and Tribal entities, with applications due August 20, 2026 — following the state's first three solicitations, which closed August 7.

MIH-CP relevance: Enrollment-navigation funding often flows through the same community organizations MIH-CP programs already partner with for social-needs screening — worth applying jointly if your Arizona program does both.

West Virginia State Activity

West Virginia Finalizing ~$39M in RHTP Agreements as Lawmakers Question Program Pace

West Virginia's Department of Health is finalizing agreements for roughly $39 million in Rural Health Transformation Program funding, though officials say recipient names won't be released until contracts are fully executed. State lawmakers have publicly questioned the program's progress as the state works toward an October 31 obligation deadline for its full $199.5 million Year 1 award.

MIH-CP relevance: With recipients not yet public, WV MIH-CP organizations that applied should follow up directly with DOH on contract status rather than waiting for a public announcement.

2026

Mississippi Funding Milestone

Mississippi Opens Second RHTP Round After First Drew $676M in Requests Against $82M Available

Governor Reeves announced Mississippi's second round of Rural Health Transformation Program funding August 5, 2026. The first round drew more than 700 applications from over 230 organizations, requesting more than $676 million against roughly $82 million available. First-round awards are expected by the end of August, with the state working toward an October deadline to obligate all Year 1 funds.

MIH-CP relevance: The 8-to-1 oversubscription in round one signals fierce competition — Mississippi MIH-CP applicants should have round-two materials ready well before any announced deadline.

Aug

2026

Massachusetts State Activity

Massachusetts Forms 35-Member Rural Health Transformation Advisory Council

The Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services formed a 35-member Rural Health Transformation Program Community Advisory Council to guide distribution of the state's $162 million in RHTP funds. The council draws representatives from local health departments, hospitals, and community organizations across the state's rural communities, following spring/summer 2026 recruitment and initiative-workgroup formation.

MIH-CP relevance: MIH-CP organizations in Massachusetts should identify their advisory council representative early — councils like this typically shape which initiative categories get prioritized in the first procurement round.

2026

Wyoming Funding Milestone

Wyoming's First RHTP Application Window Closes; Awards Expected August–September

Wyoming's inaugural Rural Health Transformation Program application window, open since July 1, closed August 3, 2026. Hospitals, EMS agencies, and education programs submitted proposals for a share of the state's $205 million award. The Department of Health expects to announce selections between August and September 2026, with participants required to obligate funding by the end of October.

MIH-CP relevance: Wyoming applicants working in EMS and community paramedicine should watch for award notices directly from WDH — the compressed award-to-obligation runway means selected organizations will need to move immediately.

Governor Sherrill announced New Jersey's first round of Rural Health Transformation Program grants July 31, 2026: $83 million funding 103 projects across six grant categories, selected from more than 200 applications. The awards represent the first investments from New Jersey's five-year, $147.3 million Year 1 RHTP allocation.

MIH-CP relevance: This is the first concrete signal of what NJ's RHTP will actually fund — MIH-CP and community paramedicine organizations that didn't apply this round should review the funded project list to gauge fit for future rounds.

Jul

2026

Nebraska Funding Milestone

Nebraska Has Awarded Roughly Half of Its $218.5M Year 1 RHTP Funds

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services reported it has awarded close to $100 million of its $218.5 million first-year RHTP allotment as of July 31, 2026. DHHS also released a public dashboard tool tracking award activity and implementation progress across the state's rural health initiatives.

MIH-CP relevance: The new dashboard gives Nebraska MIH-CP programs a direct way to track which categories still have unallocated funds — worth checking before assuming a category is closed out.

Maine Funding Milestone

Maine Announces $12M RHTP Partnership with University of New England

Maine DHHS announced a $12 million partnership with the University of New England's Shaw Institute for Public and Planetary Health, funded under Initiative One (Population Health) of the state's $190 million Year 1 RHTP plan. The partnership follows Maine's earlier ~$30 million EMR modernization investment announced in July.

MIH-CP relevance: Population-health partnerships like this often generate downstream subcontracting opportunities for community-based providers — Maine MIH-CP programs should ask the Shaw Institute directly about partner-organization involvement.

Pennsylvania Funding Milestone

Pennsylvania Opens Second-Round Rapid Response Stabilization Funding

The Shapiro Administration released Pennsylvania's second-round RHTP funding opportunity for Rapid Response Stabilization payments, ranging from $10,000 to $1 million, as of July 31, 2026. It follows the state's initial ~$42 million award round in late July that funded 66 projects, layered on top of Pennsylvania's 8 Rural Care Collaborative regional structure.

MIH-CP relevance: Rapid Response Stabilization payments are designed for fast-turnaround needs — PA community paramedicine programs facing an urgent equipment or staffing gap should check eligibility with their regional RCC before the window closes.

Delaware Funds Four New School-Based Health Centers in Sussex County

Governor Meyer announced RHTP-funded awards July 29, 2026 to establish four new school-based health centers in Sussex County. Delaware currently operates 40 school-based health centers statewide, but nearly three-quarters are concentrated in New Castle County — prior to this award, only one middle school and one elementary school in Sussex County had one.

MIH-CP relevance: School-based health centers are a natural referral partner for MIH-CP programs doing pediatric and family follow-up in rural Delaware — worth reaching out to the newly funded sites once operational.

New Closure-Risk Data Shows 10 Indiana Rural Hospitals at Risk as $1B RHTP Grant Review Continues

NPR affiliates WVXU/WBOI/LPM reported RHTP grant applications remain under review, with funding potentially available starting September 2026. A closure-risk report found 10 Indiana rural hospitals at risk of closure, five at immediate risk. The reporting follows a July 17 Indiana Public Media piece in which rural hospital CEOs — including Brenda Reetz of Greene County General and Justin Harris of Daviess Community Hospital — called the state's roughly $206.9M Year 1 RHTP award a "Band-Aid" against a projected $12.7 billion loss to Indiana hospitals from Medicaid cuts over 10 years.

MIH-CP relevance: Nine Indiana hospitals have already closed or dropped inpatient services since 2015 — MIH-CP programs positioning RHTP proposals should frame community paramedicine as a hedge against exactly this kind of closure risk.

Tennessee State Activity

Tennessee's MaRTHA Program Launches with Health-Tech and Interoperability as Core Pillars

Tennessee's branded RHTP program — Mobile and Rural Tennessee Health Access (MaRTHA) — has officially launched with health technology and interoperability named as two of its four core investment pillars. The program name itself signals alignment with mobile health delivery models, making Tennessee an active market for community paramedicine programs.

MIH-CP relevance: MaRTHA's emphasis on mobile health delivery is a natural match for MIH-CP program models. Tennessee programs should emphasize the "mobile" component of their care model and cross-agency data coordination in any proposal language.

Federal Funding Milestone

36 States Now in Active RHTP Implementation — $1.7B in Verified Subrecipient Funding Open

As of May 2026, 36 states have moved into active RHTP implementation with subrecipient funding activity underway. According to public RHTP tracking data, more than $1.7 billion in verified funding is currently active across 91 open opportunities, with additional solicitations expected as remaining states finalize their cooperative agreement plans.

MIH-CP relevance: With 36 states now active, MIH-CP programs in states that haven't yet moved shouldn't wait — engaging with your state's lead agency now positions you ahead of formal solicitations. The window to influence subrecipient eligibility language is closing in early-mover states.

Arkansas State Activity

Arkansas Launches 4 Branded RHTP Initiatives with AI-Powered Coordinated Records Emphasis

Arkansas has launched four distinct branded RHTP programs — HEART, PACT, RISE AR, and THRIVE — each targeting different aspects of rural health transformation. A common thread across all four is an emphasis on AI-assisted coordinated record systems, positioning Arkansas as a technology-forward state where cross-agency data infrastructure is a funding priority.

MIH-CP relevance: Arkansas's coordinated records emphasis is a direct opportunity for MIH-CP programs that use shared care plans and cross-agency data. The four-program structure means multiple entry points — identify which initiative aligns with your service model and engage accordingly.

Montana State Activity

Montana Receives 4th-Highest RHTP Allocation Nationally — Up to $1.2B Over 5 Years

Montana's RHTP allocation of $233.5 million annually — up to $1.2 billion over the 5-year program window — ranks 4th highest nationally, despite being one of the least populated states. This reflects RHTP's variable funding formula that heavily weights rural population density and healthcare access gaps. Montana is developing a Center of Excellence model under its cooperative agreement.

MIH-CP relevance: Montana's outsized allocation relative to population size means a higher per-capita funding opportunity for MIH-CP programs. The Center of Excellence structure may offer a higher-tier pathway for established community paramedicine programs seeking leadership roles.

Federal CMS Guidance

CMS Publishes Post-Award FAQ Clarifying Non-Supplanting Rule for EMS-Adjacent Organizations

CMS's post-award guidance FAQ addresses one of the most common questions from EMS and community health organizations: whether RHTP funding can supplement existing Medicaid or Medicare reimbursement. The guidance confirms that RHTP funds cannot replace existing federal funding streams but can expand services beyond what current reimbursement covers — a distinction that directly affects how MIH-CP programs frame their proposals.

MIH-CP relevance: Many MIH-CP programs already receive some Medicaid reimbursement for mobile integrated health services. This guidance means your RHTP proposal should focus on expanding scope or reach — new populations, new service areas, or new care coordination capabilities — rather than replacing existing revenue.

Georgia Funding Milestone

Georgia's GREAT Health Program Launches 29 Projects Across 86 Hospitals

Georgia's RHTP program — GREAT Health — has moved into active project implementation with 29 approved initiatives operating across 86 hospitals under the AHEAD Model. The program includes community health worker programs among its funded service categories, establishing a precedent for non-clinical community health organizations as eligible RHTP subrecipients in the state.

MIH-CP relevance: Georgia's inclusion of community health worker programs signals that the state views community-based care delivery — including mobile care models — as fundable under RHTP. Georgia MIH-CP programs should reference the GREAT Health CHW precedent in any subrecipient application.
