The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is taking proactive steps to prepare for the potential launch of the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) in the state. A key part of this effort is the release of a statewide Intent to Apply Survey to gather input from organizations across the state that plan to apply for future RHTP funding. For details about the survey, visit the RHTP website.
Survey Deadline: December 11, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PT
Who should complete the survey?
Organizations that:
- Serve rural, frontier, or remote areas of Oregon
- Are in good standing with the State of Oregon
Even if your organization provided public comment in the fall, OHA encourages you to complete this survey.
