Rural Care Journey guide
The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) is a $50 billion federal initiative administered by CMS to help states transform rural healthcare delivery. CMS approves state plans, and each state translates its plan into a different mix of grants, procurements, workforce initiatives, technology projects, technical assistance, and community partnerships. Rural Care Journey tracks those opportunities, awards, implementation activities, deadlines, and participating organizations across all 50 states. The evidence is distributed across state portals, agency pages, procurement systems, award notices, and implementation documents, so RCJ links its records back to the public source evidence. CMS remains the authoritative federal source for federal policy and official guidance.
