Chronic Care Telehealth Centers of Excellence Program

The Chronic Care Telehealth Centers for Excellence Program, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services, aims to support academic medical centers in embedding advanced telehealth technologies across all aspects of chronic care delivery. This includes enhancing chronic disease prevention, ongoing management, and the treatment of acute complications arising from long-term health conditions. The selected centers will be expected to develop, implement, and evaluate innovative telehealth solutions that improve patient outcomes and system efficiency, with a strong emphasis on scalability and real-world applicability. These centers will also serve as national exemplars by sharing their processes, outcomes, and best practices through peer-reviewed research publications and other knowledge dissemination channels. The program is designed to advance the integration of telehealth into standard chronic care frameworks nationwide, and while specific details on funding amounts or eligibility criteria are not provided, interested institutions should note the official point of contact, Tracy Tendo, for further inquiries. The opportunity was posted on July 22, 2026, and is available through the Grants.gov platform for potential applicants interested in transforming chronic care delivery using digital health innovations.
