Utah DHHS still lists SHIFT 3.3 Rural EMS applications due September 20, 2026 at 11:59 PM MDT, but the current Utah DPS/BEMS FAQ and linked EUNA NOFO narrative list September 13, 2026 at 11:59 PM MDT. Atlas cannot verify that the application window is currently open, so new applicant outreach remains paused pending explicit authoritative confirmation.
Required next actionKeep new applicant outreach paused. Do not treat the September 20 date as controlling unless Utah BEMS or EUNA expressly confirms an extension, reopening, or current submission window. Preserve prior successful sends and reverify the live deadline before any submission.

Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS)
Connecticut DSS finalized $50 million in Rural Health Transformation Program right-sizing and infrastructure agreements on September 16, 2026, including $46 million for Day Kimball, Sharon, Windham and Charlotte Hungerford hospitals and $3.98 million for Mathematica technical assistance. These are executed implementation awards, not a new public applicant round. Atlas is monitoring hospital and state procurement channels for resulting telehealth, virtual-care, remote-monitoring, equipment and implementation opportunities.
Required next actionDo not create new applicant outreach from the executed hospital awards. Monitor Connecticut DSS, CTSource and the procurement channels of Day Kimball Hospital, Sharon Hospital, Windham Hospital and Charlotte Hungerford Hospital for project-specific solicitations, vendor registrations and implementation notices. Day Kimball has confirmed that planning and procurement will proceed on separate timelines for advanced imaging, digital infrastructure, virtual health and tele-specialty services. Evaluate N9+ and QC Healthcare only against a future controlling procurement or hospital-led partner request.
