Trump Administration Announces More Than $11 Million to Strengthen Rural EMS and Expand Mobile Healthcare Across New Hampshire

This federal investment will create and expand mobile health programs, connect EMS agencies with rural hospitals, and bring more care directly to patients across New Hampshire

Today, the Trump Administration announced more than $11 million in Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding to strengthen emergency medical services and expand Mobile Integrated Health across rural New Hampshire. This investment will support Mobile Integrated Health programs that bring healthcare services directly into rural communities, while helping EMS agencies respond to rising demand and workforce pressures.

This transformational funding will support rural municipalities, EMS agencies, and health systems facing rising call volumes, workforce shortages, and financial pressures. Funding will create and expand mobile healthcare programs across rural New Hampshire, giving communities new ways to deliver care outside traditional healthcare settings and bring care closer to home. The investment will also support partnerships among municipalities, EMS agencies, and rural hospitals to improve coordination, expand access to services, and help build a more reliable and sustainable rural emergency medical system.

The Rural Health Transformation Program is expanding access to quality healthcare, regardless of a patient’s zip code, and equipping first responders with the lifesaving resources they need when every second counts. This funding will make critical investments to strengthen rural healthcare, expand access to lifesaving services, and bring modern technology to communities across New Hampshire.

“President Trump understands that every American deserves high-quality healthcare, no matter where they live,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “We are putting resources directly into rural communities to strengthen the health workforce, modernize infrastructure, expand access, and bring care closer to home. We are giving states the flexibility to build solutions around the people they serve, while demanding accountability for results. That is how we strengthen rural health, improve the lives of patients and families, and Make America Healthy Again.”

“President Trump made a historic commitment to rural America, and these investments are turning that commitment into better care for patients in communities across New Hampshire,” said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz. “This is what rural health transformation should look like: federal investment that is putting patients first, driving lasting improvements and expanding healthcare for the hardworking Americans who call these communities home.”
