# West Virginia Connected Care Grid (CCG) Hub & Spoke Model Grant

The Connected Care Grid – Hub & Spoke Care Delivery Initiative is a competitive funding opportunity under West Virginia’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) to design, implement, and scale hub-and-spoke care delivery models that expand access to coordinated, high-quality care for rural West Virginians. Centralized hubs (hospitals, academic medical centers, specialty providers, or regional health organizations—physical or virtual) deliver clinical expertise, care coordination, workforce support, and standardized protocols to community-based spokes (e.g., schools, employers, libraries, community centers, mobile units) targeting counties lacking adequate healthcare access. The program aims to (1) reduce preventable emergency department use, (2) improve chronic disease and behavioral/mental health outcomes, (3) increase workforce participation, and (4) build sustainable models aligned with public/private payment systems and the broader RHTP ecosystem. Initiatives must be scalable, designed for long-term commercial sustainability, and prioritize measurable impacts on health and workforce participation. All funded models are required to fully integrate with the State’s data systems (RHTP data spine and WVHIN), support rigorous milestone-based accountability, enable county- and statewide reporting, and strictly comply with CMS/HHS, state, HIPAA, and 42 CFR Part 2 (as applicable) requirements. Funding is disbursed in milestones: 25% advance for start-up, 25% upon hub launch/half of spokes operational, and 50% upon full spoke network and integration with the WVHIN. Funds cannot supplant existing efforts or serve as cost-share for other programs without approval. Grantees must submit regular financial and programmatic reports, actively participate in CMS/state governance and data activities, and collaborate with concurrent RHTP initiatives and regional partners. Failure to achieve milestones or meet compliance may result in suspension or reallocation of funds.
