California Awards $233.6M for Rural Health Transformation — Telehealth, Workforce Pipelines, Cybersecurity for Rural FQHCs
HCAI publishes the California Rural Health Transformation Plan with $233.6M in funding across three pillars:
- Transformative care models including expanding e-consult and telehealth for rural FQHCs
- Workforce development with rural health pipeline programs and loan repayment supplements
- Technology including cybersecurity and data interoperability.
FQHCs in rural counties could receive direct infrastructure support. The plan addresses the North State, North Coast, and Central Valley regions where FQHCs are most isolated.
