The Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) is hosting a virtual listening session from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 to gather ideas, insights, considerations, and project concepts that align with federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) goals. Under this new program, states can apply to use funds in a variety of ways, such as for promoting care interventions, paying for health care services, expanding the rural health workforce, and providing technical assistance with system transformation. The feedback received during this listening session will be considered for incorporation into the State of Illinois’s forthcoming RHTP application.
