22 States Using RHTP Funds to Acquire Mobile Medical Units

Twenty-two states are using the first tranche of funds obtained through the $50 billion federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) to purchase mobile medical units to facilitate health care delivery in rural communities. These units offer services like oncology, obstetrics, and hospital-at-home, focusing on underserved populations through innovative partnerships. Despite their potential to provide needed care in these communities, deploying these resources in a manner that is most cost-effective remains a challenge.
