Introducing the Oregon Rural Health Collaborative: Oregon’s RHTP Regional Convenings
Starting in August, the Oregon Rural Health Collaborative will launch the first regional convenings for the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), bringing together healthcare and community partners across rural Oregon to strengthen regional collaboration in preparation for the federal investment in rural health.
Rural Health Transformation Program
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1, the budget reconciliation law, which makes changes to Medicaid and creates the Rural Health Transformation Program.
The changes to Medicaid will have a significant impact on the program, affecting states differently based on their Medicaid programs.

Rural Health Coordinating Council (RHCC)
The Rural Health Coordinating Council (RHCC) is the statewide advisory body for the Oregon Office of Rural Health (ORH).
Rural CAHs Provide Quality Health Care
Every community deserves access to high-quality healthcare, and Oregon’s Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) take quality seriously. Throughout rural Oregon, CAHs not only provide care the community needs but strive to ensure that care is of the highest quality. Good Shepherd Health Care System (Hermiston) and Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center (Bandon) are just two great examples of rural hospitals serving their communities with high quality healthcare.
