New Hampshire gets $204M for rural health expansion

(The Center Square) — New Hampshire has received another $204 million from the federal government to develop its new rural health care program, Gov. Kelly Ayotte said Tuesday. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced this week that it is distributing an additional $10 billion in funding to states in the latest round of disbursements from the Rural Health Transformation Program. New Hampshire is getting more than $204 million, the federal agency said, bringing its total funding to more than $408 million. Ayotte called the latest award — the largest award among New England states — "a testament to the incredible work" the state and health care advocates have done "to put our first year of funding into action as quickly as possible and the partnerships we have built with our providers, community health and mental health centers, and our community colleges and universities." "We’re ready to continue New Hampshire’s bold effort to expand access to high-quality, innovative, and affordable care for every Granite Stater," Ayotte, a Republican, said Tuesday in a statement. The health initiative aims to expand medical infrastructure and care in rural communities, where so-called healthcare 'deserts' often leave residents with few options. Regionally, New York
