The State of Illinois will be receiving over $193 million dollars a year over the next five years as part of the Federal Rural Healthcare Transformation Program fund.
Illinois plans to utilize these funds to expand equitable access to healthcare and to eliminate barriers to care that many residents of rural communities face.
Governor JB Pritzker said “Federal funding is critical and welcomed, but this comes as Donald Trump and his disastrous budget bill strip billions from rural healthcare providers and threaten rural healthcare access for our residents — an overall loss that cannot be ignored.”
