Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has announced a working group that will advise state leaders on state’s application to receive a portion of the $50 billion rural health fund.
The Rural Health Transformation Program is part of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which will allocate money to rural health care to offset Medicaid cuts in the budget law.
