The program aims to address primary, specialty, and behavioral health workforce shortages, fragmented systems of care, and improve health outcomes among Medicaid-eligible and other rural populations. Funding is released in two phases: a six-month planning grant (Phase 1) and, for qualified applicants, a four-year implementation grant (Phase 2). Projects must establish or expand innovative and sustainable care partnerships that provide measurable health outcome improvements for rural and semi-rural communities.
Eligible applicants must be health service providers or community partners of health service providers in Wisconsin counties outside of Milwaukee County, serving rural or semi-rural populations. Health services are broadly defined and include aging and disability resource centers, behavioral health clinics, community-based organizations, community health centers, primary care clinics, county human service agencies, emergency medical services, hospitals and health systems, local and Tribal health departments, long-term care providers, skilled nursing facilities, non-emergency medical transportation, pharmacists/pharmacies, rural health clinics, schools, educational institutions, and other rural partners. See Addendum Exhibit 1 for county definitions.
