North Dakota Secures Massive Federal Funding for Rural Health Transformation North Dakotas U.S. Senator John Hoeven and Governor Kelly Armstrong are celebrating a significant victory for the states healthcare system. They have secured nearly $200 million in federal Rural Health Transformation Program funding for the first year of a five-year grant, one of the largest awards per person in the nation. This funding comes from a $50 billion pot set aside by Congress last year to help rural states deal with losses from Medicaid changes. North Dakotas grant is almost double the minimum states receive this year, and officials aim for the full $1 billion possible over five years. The state must commit the funds by September 2026 and spend them by 2027. A special legislative session is set to approve the spending, with a key committee meeting later this month to review the award and draft bills. The session could significantly boost rural health if everything goes smoothly. Checkout Solipillow.com
