This webinar will introduce the DRCHSD Program to eligible health care organizations in the Delta Region. State partners are welcome to join.

This event will provide detailed information about the Rural Hospital Stabilization Program (RHSP), which supports rural hospitals to improve financial stability and to enhance or develop services that meet community needs and keep care close to home. RHSP is supported by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy and administered by the National Rural Health Resource Center.

The Behavioral Health Toolkit contains messaging focused on stopping mental health stigma and starting the conversation, as well as highlighting the new 9-8-8 national hotline.

The National Rural Health Resource Center (The Center) has been awarded a five-year, $10 million cooperative agreement by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to continue its management of the Delta Region Community Health Systems Development (DRCHSD) Program.

The National Rural Health Resource Center (The Center) has named Thomas Schumacher, a health care executive with extensive experience building sustainable hospital programs that prioritize patient outcomes, community well-being and workforce engagement, as the director of the Rural Hospital Stabilization Program, a new federal initiative designed to help rural hospitals improve their financial stability by enhancing or expanding health care services.

Eight hospitals have been selected to participate in the first cohort of the Rural Hospital Stabilization Program, a new federal initiative designed to provide in-depth technical assistance to rural hospitals, helping them develop or enhance health care services that meet community needs and keep care close to home.
