North Dakota’s rural clinics prep for up to $200M in federal funds to boost health care access and workforce.

Rural North Dakota health care providers are preparing for up to $200 million in federal funding over five years through the Rural Health Transformation Program, aimed at strengthening rural and tribal health care. The funds, part of a broader federal initiative responding to projected health care cuts, will support workforce development, chronic disease prevention, local care access, and technology improvements. While application details are pending, facilities are planning expansions in telehealth, behavioral health, and transportation services, along with efforts to build future health care worker pipelines.
