Ohio Department of Health
Ohio's Rural Health Transformation plan establishes a major rural school-based health center initiative with telehealth, remote monitoring, primary care, behavioral health, dental services and innovative screening technology. Current state materials identify approximately $21.2 million for the initiative in the current fiscal year, but Atlas has not verified an open downstream application for new applicants, so this record is maintained as a Funding Watch.
Required next actionMonitor Ohio Department of Health Rural Health Transformation implementation channels for a school-based health center RFP, subaward notice, site-selection process, technical-assistance procurement or other authorized purchasing pathway. Do not represent the state allocation as an open applicant grant until controlling terms are published.

New York's first $76.2 million Rural Community Health Integration application round is closed, but CMS confirmed on September 4, 2026 that approximately $76 million is now being delivered to strengthen rural regional networks, technology-enhanced primary care, workforce training and care coordination.
