The State of Maine announced yesterday that it will apply for funding through the federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) and launched a public feedback process to help shape its application.  

Maine is committed to applying for RHTP funds to support the health of rural communities through innovation and collaboration. The State launched a new webpage about the federal program with a link for health providers, partners, and others to submit input. Beginning next week, the State also will host public information webinars, followed by community listening sessions to be scheduled later this month. Information on registering for the webinars is included below:
