The Wyoming Department of Health has issued requests for applications under the state’s $205 million Rural Health Transformation Program to fund projects that strengthen healthcare delivery in rural communities.
The program was created under the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act and is funded through a $205 million award from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Eligible applicants include healthcare providers, hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals, EMS agencies, Federally Qualified Health Centers, tribal clinics and other organizations, depending on the specific funding opportunity.
Funding is available for projects in the following categories:
- Critical Access Hospitals: Sustaining essential services and improving long-term business models.
- EMS regionalization: Helping agencies consolidate or collaborate around sustainable revenue models.
- Graduate medical education: Creating residency opportunities to train and retain physicians in Wyoming.
- Technology Adoption Challenge: Helping groups of rural providers implement technology.
- Integrated Primary Care: Expanding FQHC and tribal clinic capacity, including behavioral health, OB/GYN, dental and preventive care.
- Clinically integrated care coordination: Improving coordination for high-risk Medicare/Medicaid populations.
- Technology vendors: The department also has issued separate requests for proposals seeking a statewide telespecialist platform, non-emergency medical transportation coordination and centralized billing capacity.
Most applications are due in early August, with deadlines varying by opportunity.
Wyoming’s approved implementation plan organizes the program’s 12 projects across four initiatives: access to emergency medical care, rural workforce supply, health technology transformation and Make Wyoming Healthy Again.
