Supports federal funding for rural health care

Tim Scott supports continued federal funding through the Rural Health Transformation Program, which provides $50 billion over five years to all 50 states to improve rural health care. He applauded the program’s second-year awards and said the investment is intended to help South Carolinians access needed care and support rural hospitals, medical professionals, and patients. South Carolina’s state-developed plan includes chronic disease management, workforce development, expanded telehealth, and investments in technology and data.
