Four Connecticut Rural Hospitals Receive $46 Million in Federal Rural Health Grants
Charlotte Hungerford, Day Kimball, Sharon, and Windham Hospitals received $46 million in federal grants through the Rural Health Transformation Program to expand imaging, telehealth, and transport services. Day Kimball Hospital received the largest share at $20.2 million to replace trailer-based MRI services and expand patient monitoring. Connecticut received $154 million total under the program, with the remaining $104 million funding workforce development, maternity services, and mobile health initiatives across the state. CMS monitors fund deployment through annual progress reports that determine subsequent funding levels.
These federal grants directly fund Medicaid-serving rural hospitals' infrastructure and telehealth capacity, affecting access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries in underserved Connecticut communities and state Medicaid program planning for rural service delivery.
