# West Virginia Secures $202 Million Rural Health Funding

On November 9, 2026, West Virginia announced a second-year Rural Health Transformation Program award of $202,081,355, bringing the state’s two-year total to more than $401 million. The state reports that first-year funding is fully obligated across 145 awards and agreements covering all 55 counties; implementation is focused on project milestones, expenditure oversight, outcomes, and sustainability. First-year funds must be spent by September 30, 2027, 324 days from the current date. No specific solicitation is announced, but the funding may generate project-level delivery needs for rural health services and infrastructure.

- The signal identifies potential work in rural hospitals and clinics, telehealth, mobile care, diagnostics, and workforce support; it does not identify particular procurements or awardees.
- Contractors and health organizations can use the state’s stated implementation priorities to assess relevant capabilities and track project-level delivery announcements.
