The Rural Health Transformation Program Advisory Committee met on April 2. The Department of Health Care Policy & Financing is developing Request for Application (RFA) materials and continuing to assemble RHTP committees, with details on committee structure, membership and meeting schedules to be shared as they become available. 

Colorado received just over $200 million in first-year RHTP funding. The state's permissible uses include consumer tech solutions for significant IT advances designed to improve efficiency and cybersecurity, as well as workforce development initiatives requiring minimum five-year rural service commitments. The department has published eligible rural health providers and partners documentation and maintains a newsletter subscription for ongoing program updates.
