“The Rural Health Transformation Fund award represents a critical opportunity to help reshape the future of rural health care in Vermont. At a time when hospitals and health care providers across the state are under extraordinary pressure, this investment creates the capacity to make targeted, high-impact changes that strengthen access, improve quality, reduce costs and support communities to thrive. We appreciate the leadership of Governor Scott and the Agency of Human Services in securing these federal resources.
“As details and plans move forward, it will be critical that hospitals, frontline caregivers and community providers are actively engaged in how these funds are used. VAHHS will continue partnering with state leaders and elected officials to ensure this investment translates into practical, sustainable improvements that protect access to care for Vermonters today and build a more resilient rural health system for the future.”
