Wyoming Announces First Round of $205M Rural Health Funding
Wyoming completed its first-year funding allocations for the $205 million federal Rural Health Transformation Program, announced Friday at the Wyoming Capitol by Gov. Mark Gordon, Sen. John Barrasso, and Department of Health Director Stefan Johansson. The CMS-backed program supports critical access hospitals, emergency medical services, workforce development, and technology improvements across rural communities. Hospital leaders from Carbon, Johnson, Converse, and Hot Springs counties highlighted needs including sustaining labor and delivery services, trauma care, and reliable EMS coverage over vast service areas. Additional funding is expected over the next four years.
