NACDS is offering optional, one-on-one, state-specific support sessions to assist chain members with their Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) efforts. Sessions are available every Wednesday, with four 30-minute time slots focused on state-level RHTP pharmacy engagement opportunities.
Interested chain members may schedule a session.
The Department of Health (MDH) released a new Request for Proposal (RFP) under the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) to support the development of a Statewide Tele-buprenorphine Access Line. The initiative is intended to expand access to treatment and care coordination services related to opioid use disorder through telehealth and virtual care models across the state, particularly in rural and underserved communities. Eligible applicants include hospitals and health systems, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Rural Health Clinics (RHCs), tribal and urban Indian health organizations, behavioral health providers, telehealth organizations, nonprofit community health providers and collaborative partnerships. Applications are due June 29. Additional details and all open grant opportunities are available through the MDH Grants and Loans: Open Grant Opportunities webpage.
