Critical Access Hospitals - Network Development Grants

Network Development Grants


Through the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility (FLEX) Program, KRHOP offers grants to Critical Access Hospitals and rural health networks to support initiatives aimed at improving clinical quality, operational effectiveness, and/or network or consortium based collaboration.

The majority of funds available under this program are distributed at the local level to foster network development and outreach activities, to develop or enhance QI activities and programs, and to support network activities to enhance rural emergency medical services (EMS).  Two basic types of grants will be funded: (1) planning grants of up to $25,000, which focus on design and development of networks and EMS systems or QI programs, and (2) implementation grants of up to $75,000, which support networks in implementing fully-developed plans.
