Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) opened applications for the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). Enacted as part of HR 1, RHTP is a $50 billion federal initiative designed to support innovation and sustainability in rural health systems.

Join the National Council for Mental Wellbeing for an in-depth look at RHTP and its major components, including how behavioral health organizations and state partners can engage with and benefit from this opportunity.

During this session, we’ll:

• Break down the program’s goals, structure, and key components.
• Walk through the timeline for application, approval, and implementation.
• Explore how the National Council can support members and partners in designing innovative and sustainable models of care and in helping states meet performance targets.
