Justification: HRSA received additional funding for the Appalachian
Region Healthcare Support Program in FY 2026 through the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2026, (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr7148/BILLS-119hr7148enr.pdf">https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr7148/BILLS-119hr7148enr.pdf</a>), H.R. 7148. This funding will provide a one-
time supplement to the Rural Health Redesign Center Organization, Inc.
to strengthen healthcare delivery by providing free in-depth TA to
rural healthcare organizations located in the Appalachian Regional
Commission region to improve financial and operational performance as
well as the quality of care. The grant recipient will use funding to
expand TA services, length of TA, and work with more eligible rural
healthcare organizations that will benefit from TA (such as critical
access hospitals, small rural hospitals, rural health clinics, tribal
healthcare facilities, and other healthcare organizations) to meet the
program objectives:
(1) Provide objective analysis and assessment of healthcare
organizations' financial status, market share, quality indicators,
locally available human services, and gaps in services so that
organizations can make actionable change;
(2) Identify clinical areas where expansion of services would meet
local need, keep health care services available locally, and improve
financial and operational performance and quality of care; and
(3) Implement best practice recommendations by providing support
for initial operating and equipment costs.

Administrator.
