Rural Health Transformation Program Newsletter – Sign Up for April 14 Webinar 

On April 14, 2026, OHA will host a webinar for organizations that are interested in applying for Catalyst Award Grants from the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). Organizations can sign up for the webinar here. 

The Catalyst Award Grants are part of Phase 1 of the Rural Health Transformation Program, which will occur during Fiscal Years 2026-2027. To receive grant funding for a project that will support access to health care in rural communities, organizations will need to apply for a Catalyst Award Grant. Projects should support one of Oregon’s four approved initiatives: Healthy Communities & Prevention, Workforce Capacity & Resilience, Technology & Data Modernization, or Regional Partnerships. The projects should be able to launch immediately or within a couple of months of receiving funding, and must be implemented within the first two years of the Rural Health Transformation Program. 

For organizations that are not able to attend the April 14 webinar, the slide deck and recording of the webinar will be posted online for later review.
