Supporting State-Led Rural Health Transformation

The RHTP Challenge for State Offices of Rural Health

The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) represents a significant federal investment in rural health—while also introducing new demands for execution, measurement, and accountability.

For State Offices of Rural Health (SORHs), RHTP carries a clear responsibility: to fulfill the commitments outlined in the state’s approved plan. Continued funding depends on demonstrating progress, and failure to do so introduces real risk—including loss of future funding and potential clawbacks.

RHTP’s stage-gate funding model shifts the state’s role from grant administration to active portfolio management across diverse rural providers—often on compressed timelines.

At the same time, many rural hospitals face financial instability, staffing constraints, and limited analytic capacity, all of which directly affect a state’s ability to deliver on its RHTP plan and protect future funding rounds.

While these pressures are real, the opportunity is once in a lifetime to make a huge impact on rural communities.

How REDi Health Supports State Success

A core differentiator of our work is outcomes-based reporting, clearly demonstrating progress tied to funding requirements and benchmarks.

We help states:

  • Operationalize RHTP initiatives across rural hospitals and communities
  • Strengthen hospital financial and operational foundations tied to access and sustainability
  • Establish clear, consistent metrics aligned with federal requirements
  • Deliver reliable, defensible reporting that mitigates risk of funding loss or clawbacks
  • Monitor progress across initiatives and course-correct early when performance slips
