Governor Greg Abbott announced today that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is awarding $6.25 million in grant funding to eligible hospitals that serve rural communities.
HHSC will award up to 25 Texas Rural Hospital Debt Reduction Grants, providing $250,000 for qualifying hospitals to improve their financial stability. HHSC provides grant funding and administers programs for rural hospitals in alignment with the Rural Hospital Services Strategic Plan, which helps rural Texans have access to hospital services.
Qualified rural hospitals have until April 24 to register and apply for the grant and submit the required documentation. Grant awards are based on a rural hospital’s application and supporting documentation as identified in the Request for Application.
For more information on the rural hospital grant and other related programs, visit the HHSC Rural Hospital Finance and Coordination webpage.
