Telehealth Network Grant Program

The Telehealth Network Grant Program, administered directly by the Health Resources and Services Administration, is a competitive discretionary grant initiative focused on improving rural healthcare. The program aims to expand rural tele-emergency services by enhancing telehealth networks to provide 24-hour Emergency Department consultation services. While the scope includes telestroke and tele-emergency medical services, there is a primary strategic emphasis on advancing telebehavioral health. Currently, the program status is closed as it awaits the next funding cycle. This Health and Human Services initiative is designed to bridge the gap in emergency care for rural providers by leveraging remote technology to ensure critical medical expertise is available around the clock.
