West Virginia Launches $500M Rural Health Transformation Program
The West Virginia Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program is set to receive at least $500 million in federal funding to enhance rural healthcare infrastructure and outcomes statewide. This investment, part of a broader $50 billion federal initiative under the RHT Program administered by CMS, aims to strengthen healthcare access, quality, and delivery in rural communities from fiscal years 2026 through 2030. Governor Patrick Morrisey has outlined a strategic plan involving seven key initiatives to direct these resources towards building a stable healthcare workforce and fostering economic growth through improved health services.
