(TNND) — A major infusion of federal money is headed to Delaware health centers, with nearly $23 million aimed at expanding care and modernizing services for rural and underserved communities.
The Trump administration announced the Rural Health Transformation Program awards on Sept. 24 for three Delaware health centers. The funding is intended to support electronic medical-record upgrades, remote patient monitoring, cybersecurity improvements, expanded care teams, and care coordination.
The awards will fund two mobile health units and a passenger van to bring care to rural and agricultural communities in Delaware.
Westside Family Healthcare will receive $11.3 million for clinical and medical-record upgrades, while La Red Health Center will get $10.1 million to expand medical, behavioral health, dental, and specialty services. Henrietta Johnson Medical Center will receive $1.29 million to add staff serving underserved patients.
CMS said the funding is part of a $50 billion nationwide rural-health investment for fiscal year 2026, aimed at improving access to care, chronic-disease treatment and health technology.
