On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law. Part of that law creates the Rural Health Transformation Program. This new program offers Wyoming a significant opportunity to strengthen rural healthcare through sustainable, innovative, and transformative solutions.
Funding under this program is intended to support priorities such as:
- Chronic disease prevention and behavioral health;
- Sustaining access to care in rural communities;
- Innovative approaches to care delivery and payment models;
- Workforce development and training;
- Technological and consumer health solutions; and
- IT advances and technical assistance.
