Rural Health Transformation Program Bottlenecked By Workforce
By Paul Bougie,
2026-07-10(Bismarck, ND) — State leaders say the Rural Health Transformation Program is struggling to expand the healthcare workforce. The program is exceptionally helpful at bringing in new equipment, but the bigger challenge is finding people to staff it. One of the goals of the program is to create long-term workforce pathways. Many healthcare professions require residencies that take place out of state and far from rural communities. The Rural Health Transformation Program is looking into ways to keep those residencies in state and reduce the cost of schooling for people who want to work in rural communities.
