SENATOR MCCORMICK ANNOUNCES $191 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING FOR RURAL HEALTHCARE IN PENNSYLVANIA

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Dave McCormick today announced that Pennsylvania will receive nearly $191 million in the next round of funding through the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). This latest allocation continues the historic investment Senator McCormick strongly advocated for as part of the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, delivering additional resources to expand access to care, strengthen the rural health workforce, modernize facilities, and support innovative care models across the Commonwealth.

"The Working Families Tax Cuts Act is delivering once again for Pennsylvania," said Senator McCormick. "I worked to include the rural health fund to protect rural Pennsylvania communities like the one I grew up in. This funding will make a real difference in expanding access."

Building on last year's award of more than $193 million, this new funding brings Pennsylvania even closer to securing nearly $1 billion over the five-year life of the program. The Rural Health Transformation Program represents the largest federal investment in rural healthcare in American history, and Senator McCormick's work helped ensure Pennsylvania receives as much as possible.

These annual allocations are already helping bolster rural healthcare facilities, workforce pipelines, and technology upgrades statewide.
