Rural Health Transformation Fund (RHTF) Roadmap | State-by-State Funding Insights

The $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Fund (RHTF) is already reshaping how states invest in care delivery, infrastructure, and innovation, but most organizations don’t yet have a clear view of where funding is going or how to engage. 

With wide variation across all 50 state proposals, identifying where real opportunities exist, and when to act, requires more than surface-level analysis. 

To help clients navigate this landscape, Thorn Run Partners developed the RHTF Roadmap, a state-by-state toolkit that translates each application into a standardized view of funding priorities, implementation signals, and partnership opportunities. 

Who this is for: 

• Health systems and provider networks evaluating expansion or partnerships 
• Digital health and services companies seeking state-level entry points 
• Government affairs and policy teams tracking funding and implementation timelines 

What you’ll get: 

• State-by-state breakdown of FY 2026 award allocations 
• Priority activity areas and strategic focus by state 
• Use-of-funds categories and implementation signals 
• Early indicators of partnership and engagement opportunities 

As states begin implementing funded initiatives in 2026, early visibility into priorities and timelines can create a meaningful advantage.
