Required next actionThe September 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET deadline has passed. Do not initiate new applicant outreach for this cycle. Preserve the home-dialysis patient-identification, education, care-coordination, barrier-removal, transition, retention and sustainability strategy for successor Personal Health Accelerator opportunities, and monitor West Virginia RHTP and wvOASIS for any reopening, amendment or related kidney-care funding.
Broad Eligibility
The opportunity encourages partnerships among healthcare providers, dialysis organizations, hospitals, home health agencies and community-based organizations serving West Virginians with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, with particular emphasis on rural and underserved communities. Priority is given to strong partnerships, sustainable approaches and measurable improvement in access to home dialysis. Funding is intended to complement, not duplicate, services already reimbursed through traditional healthcare payment sources.
Atlas Analysis
A highly targeted rural-access opportunity with immediate relevance to hospitals, dialysis providers and community partners. The strongest proposals will focus on the non-reimbursed barriers that prevent appropriate patients from successfully transitioning to and remaining on home dialysis, while tying navigation and support services to measurable clinical access, patient education, adherence and sustainability outcomes.
West Virginia opened a Personal Health Accelerator Home Dialysis Access funding opportunity of up to $2 million in Year 1 through the Rural Health Transformation Program. The program is intended to reduce non-reimbursed barriers that keep rural and underserved patients with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure from considering, starting or successfully remaining on home dialysis. The Atlas-verified solicitation deadline was September 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET through wvOASIS.
Who the program is designed for
The opportunity encourages partnerships among healthcare providers, dialysis organizations, hospitals, home health agencies and community-based organizations serving West Virginians with kidney disease. Priority is given to strong partnerships, sustainable approaches and projects that measurably improve access in rural and underserved communities.
What a strong project should address
Competitive applications should focus on the practical barriers that traditional reimbursement often does not cover: patient identification and education, care coordination, caregiver readiness, transportation or home-support barriers, connection to dialysis providers, transition support and retention in an appropriate home-dialysis modality. Projects should complement, not duplicate, services already reimbursed through Medicare, Medicaid or other payers.
Atlas strategy
Atlas Opportunity Score: 99/100. This is a high-value rural chronic-care opportunity for providers that can build a measurable transition-and-support pathway around home dialysis. Connected-care technology may be useful when it directly supports education, remote clinical follow-up or coordination, but Atlas does not assume the award is a general device-purchase fund. Any technology budget should be tied to a specific barrier, outcome and non-duplication rationale.
Required next action
The September 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET deadline has passed. Do not initiate new applicant outreach for this cycle. Preserve the patient-identification and education strategy, partner structure, barrier-removal plan, transition and retention measures, sustainability model and detailed-budget intelligence for successor opportunities.
