The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) is pleased to support the Rural Hospital Stabilization Program (RHSP), a new initiative designed to assist rural hospitals in improving their financial stability and meeting community health care needs. Administered by FORHP through a grant to the National Rural Health Resource Center, this program offers no-cost assistance to rural hospitals to enhance or expand health care services such as pulmonary rehabilitation, outpatient behavioral health services, and primary care, ensuring care remains accessible close to home. Leveraging a team of nationally recognized consultants familiar with rural hospitals, RHSP provides tailored guidance and support to help hospitals implement sustainable solutions. Applications for the first cohort of hospitals are due on Wednesday, January 15. To learn more about eligibility, benefits of participation, and to apply, visit the program website.
