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

In late 2025, CMS announced the first-year awards under the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Fund (RHTF) after reviewing plans submitted by all 50 states. With wide variation across state proposals and priority activity areas, Thorn Run Partners is focused on helping clients interpret award levels, anticipate near-term activity, and identify where partnership opportunities are most likely to emerge.

To help clients make sense of the emerging state landscape, TRP’s RHTF Roadmap provides a state-by-state toolkit that translates each application into a standardized profile of planned initiatives, priority activity areas, use-of-funds categories, and (now) FY 2026 award amounts.
