Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding continues to be a major catalyst for reshaping care delivery across rural America. As states release their Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announcements, providers are seeing a clear shift toward scalable, outcomes-driven investments—especially those that improve access, reduce disparities, and strengthen long-term sustainability in rural healthcare systems and Community Health Centers.
Across June 2026 funding opportunities, states are strongly emphasizing chronic disease management, maternal health outcomes, and technology-enabled care delivery. A recurring theme is the integration of remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telehealth solutions, which allow providers to extend care beyond the walls of the clinic and better manage conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, prenatal care and post-partum complications. For healthcare organizations, these priorities present a timely opportunity to align funding strategies with innovation.

Why Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Is Central to RHTP Success
Across RHTP funding opportunities, RPM is consistently identified as a high-impact investment area. States are prioritizing RPM because it enables:
- Better chronic disease management (diabetes, COPD, hypertension, heart disease)
- Improved maternal and postpartum monitoring
- Reduced hospital readmissions through post-discharge care continuity
- Expansion of care-at-home models in rural communities
Organizations that incorporate RPM into their RHTP applications are better positioned to demonstrate measurable improvements in outcomes, access, and cost efficiency.
