Gov. Brad Little announced Thursday that Idaho Department of Health and Welfare had submitted an application for The Rural Health Transformation Program this week, getting in line to receive as much as $1 billion in grant funding for rural health care facilities in the state.

“Idaho is a mostly rural state, and we are grateful for the significant investments President Trump and Congress have committed to improving healthcare access, quality, and outcomes in rural Idaho and across the country,” Little said. “We are proud of the effective, collaborative approach we utilized in preparing Idaho’s application for funding through this transformative new program.”
