Vulnerable Rural Hospitals Assistance Program
This notice solicits applications for the Vulnerable Rural Hospitals Assistance Program (VRHAP).
The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide targeted in-depth assistance to vulnerable rural hospitals within communities struggling to maintain health care services.
The goal is
for residents in rural communities to continue to have access to essential health services.
The awardee will work with individual hospitals and their communities on ways to address economic challenges, understand community health needs and resources, and find ways to ensure hospitals and communities can keep needed care locally, whether it is with a more limited set of services provided by the hospital, or by exploring other mechanisms for meeting community health care needs.
