ACHIEVING THIS VISION MEANS RURAL POPULATIONS ARE HEALTHIER, LIVE LONGER, HAVE AN IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE, AND CAN BOTH LIVE AND WORK IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY LOVE; RURAL PLACES HAVE HEALTHCARE THAT IS HIGH QUALITY, MORE ABUNDANT, MORE ACCESSIBLE, AND MORE EFFECTIVE; AND RURAL PROGRESS CREATES SYSTEMS-LEVEL CHANGE THAT LEVERAGES TECHNOLOGY, DRIVES INNOVATION, AND IMPROVES QUALITY, WHILE MAINTAINING A PATIENT FOCUS. THE GREAT HEALTH PROGRAM WILL DO THIS THROUGH FIVE INITIATIVES: 1. TRANSFORMING FOR A SUSTAINABLE HEALTH SYSTEM FOCUSES ON PREPARING RURAL HEALTHCARE FACILITIES AND PROVIDERS TO QUALIFY FOR THE ACHIEVING HEALTHCARE EFFICIENCY THROUGH ACCOUNTABLE DESIGN (AHEAD) MODEL FOR HOSPITALS AND AHEAD PRIMARY CARE PROGRAMS FROM CMS TO ALIGN WITH THE GEORGIA VISION OF RURAL PROGRESS. AS PART OF THIS INITIATIVE, THE GREAT HEALTH PROGRAM WILL FOCUS TIME AND RESOURCES TO WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH HEALTHCARE FACILITIES AND LEADERS TO ASSESS READINESS, IDENTIFY GAPS, AND PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. OTHER PARTS OF THIS INITIATIVE WILL ADDRESS STRATEGIC GAPS AND MITIGATE FISCAL RISK THAT COULD CAUSE SOME FACILITIES AND PROVIDERS TO DELAY ENGAGEMENT IN THESE REFORMS. GEORGIA INTENDS TO APPLY IN 2026 TO BE A PART OF THE AHEAD PROGRAM BEGINNING IN 2028.

CONNECTING TO CARE TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE ACCESS INCLUDES SIX STRATEGIES THAT ALIGN WITH THE VISION OF INCREASING ACCESS IN RURAL PLACES TO ENSURE RURAL RESIDENTS HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PREVENTATIVE, PRIMARY, SPECIALTY, DENTAL, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE. 4. GROWING A HIGHLY SKILLED HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE INCLUDES FIVE STRATEGIES GROUNDED IN INCREASING AND INCENTIVIZING HEALTHCARE WORKERS TO PRACTICE IN RURAL GEORGIA.

| 2026-06-05 | HEALTH CARE SERVICES, CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF | Department of Health and Human Services | $217,861,311 | CALIFORNIA MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT EXPANSION 4.0 - IN SOR III, CALIFORNIA WILL CONTINUE EFFORTS UNDER THE MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) EXPANSION PROJECT TO IMPLEMENT AND EXPAND EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD). PRIORITY POPULATIONS INCLUDE BLACK, TRIBAL/URBAN INDIAN, HISPANIC/LATINX, AND LGBTQI+ COMMUNITIES, PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, PEOPLE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SETTINGS, AND YOUTH. OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE PROJECT, CALIFORNIA WILL DIRECTLY SERVE ABOUT 50,000 CLIENTS (25,000 EACH YEAR) AND IMPACT 300,000 INDIVIDUALS (150,000 EACH YEAR) THROUGH PREVENTION AND EDUCATION. OVERDOSE DEATH RATES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAVE INCREASED RAPIDLY IN THE WAKE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC (KIANG ET AL. 2022). AS OF THE END OF 2020, THE RATE OF ALL DRUG-RELATED OVERDOSE DEATHS ROSE TO 21.6 DEATHS PER 100,000 RESIDENTS, A 44.3 PERCENT INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR (CDPH 2022). WHILE OPIOIDS WERE INVOLVED IN THE GREATEST PROPORTION OF DRUG-RELATED OVERDOSES (61.9 PERCENT), PSYCHOSTIMULANTS WERE INVOLVED IN NEARLY HALF (49.5 PERCENT). THIS MAY BE DRIVEN, IN PART, BY THE INCREASING PRESENCE OF SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS, LIKE FENTANYL, IN STIMULANTS AND OTHER DRUGS (SHOVER ET AL. 2020). THERE IS AN URGENT AND GROWING NEED TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS WHO USE ALL DRUG TYPES, ESPECIALLY FENTANYL. SOR III PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED ACROSS THE STATE WITH AN EMPHASIS ON AREAS WITH THE HIGHEST RATE AND VOLUME OF OVERDOSE DEATHS. ACTIVITIES WILL FOCUS ON WHERE INDIVIDUALS WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUD) ARE ROUTINELY PRESENT, SUCH AS PRIMARY CARE, HOSPITALS, SUD TREATMENT PROVIDERS, AND JUSTICE INVOLVED SETTINGS. INCREASING ACCESS TO AND USE OF SERVICES ACROSS THE CONTINUUM OF CARE – FROM PREVENTION THROUGH TREATMENT AND RECOVERY – WILL BE A PRIORITY. HOWEVER, SEVERAL BARRIERS REMAIN TO REALIZING THIS VISION, INCLUDING ACCESS TO MAT. THIS IS A CONCERN IN RURAL AREAS OF THE STATE, BUT MANY URBAN AREAS STILL LACK CAPACITY TO TREAT ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH AN OUD. STIGMA ALSO CONTINUES TO POSE BARRIERS TO REFERRALS AND ENGAGEMENT IN TREATMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD. EFFECTIVE EDUCATION FOR THE JUSTICE-INVOLVED SYSTEM, COURTS, CHILD WELFARE, HEALTH SYSTEM, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WORKFORCE, AND SUD PROVIDERS CONTINUES TO BE AN EFFECTIVE METHOD TO COMBAT STIGMA AND ENGAGE CLIENTS INTO SERVICES. CALIFORNIA HAS THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES UNDER SOR III: 1) EXPAND ACCESS TO MAT THROUGH STRATEGIC ACCESS POINTS; 2) ADDRESS HEALTH INEQUITIES BY PROVIDING OUD TREATMENT TO SPECIFIC POPULATIONS (BLACK, TRIBAL/URBAN INDIAN, HISPANIC/LATINX, AND LGBTQI+ COMMUNITIES, PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, PEOPLE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SETTINGS, AND YOUTH); 3) EXPAND OVERDOSE PREVENTION ACTIVITIES TO PREVENT OPIOID, FENTANYL, AND METHAMPHETAMINE MISUSE AND OVERDOSE DEATHS; AND 4) EXPAND ACCESS TO EVIDENCE-BASED HARM REDUCTION APPROACHES, INCLUDING OVERDOSE EDUCATION, ACCESS TO NALOXONE, COUNSELING, AND REFERRAL TO TREATMENT FOR OUD AND SUD. CALIFORNIA’S SOR III PROJECTS WILL USE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES, INCLUDING FDA-APPROVED MEDICATIONS, COUNSELING, AND PEER RECOVERY SUPPORTS. DHCS WILL WORK WITH COUNTY GOVERNMENTS, HEALTH PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, FOUNDATIONS, AND OTHER KEY PARTNERS AS PART OF A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT. THE GRANT WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON REDUCING STIGMA, IMPROVING COORDINATION OF FUNDING STREAMS, CREATING PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY, AND INCREASING AWARENESS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS AND AVAILABILITY OF TREATMENT FOR SUD.

WE COLLECTED THOSE PRIORITIES IN A SERIES OF ELEVEN (11) TOWN HALL MEETINGS, AND HAD THEM RANKED BY 1,316 WYOMINGITES IN AN ONLINE SURVEY. THE PRIORITIES THAT CAME OUT ON TOP AREN’T EXTRAVAGANT. MOST CENTER ON ACCESS TO THE BASICS: HOSPITALS THAT CAN EFFECTIVELY TREAT EMERGENCIES, AMBULANCES THAT SHOW UP QUICKLY WHEN YOU DIAL 911, AND PRIMARY CARE THAT TREATS THE WHOLE PERSON. WHEN COMBINED WITH THE FEDERAL OBJECTIVES ARTICULATED IN THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT, THESE PRIORITIES INFORMED THE FOUR (4) MAJOR GOALS OF OUR PROPOSAL. WITH SUPPORTING COMPONENTS LISTED UNDER EACH, THESE ARE: 1. TO INCREASE SUSTAINABLE ACCESS TO RIGHT-SIZED AND COORDINATED RURAL MEDICAL CARE. - ENCOURAGING SMALLER CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS TO FOCUS ON DOING THE BASICS WELL, AND CREATING INCENTIVES FOR SMALL AMBULANCE SERVICES TO CONSOLIDATE AROUND SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL FUNDING BASES; - EXPANSION OF PRIMARY CARE THAT INTEGRATES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE; - BUILDING AN AFFORDABLE MAJOR MEDICAL PLAN FOR PEOPLE PRICED OUT OF HEALTH INSURANCE. 2. TO BUILD A DURABLE WORKFORCE PIPELINE. - INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE LOOKING TO BECOME NURSES, PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINICIANS AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS; - GRANTS FOR INSTITUTIONS TO BUILD CAREER PIPELINES IN THESE FIELDS, STARTING IN HIGH SCHOOL; AND, - LOOSENING SCOPE OF PRACTICE FOR PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, DENTAL HYGIENISTS, AND PHARMACISTS. 3. TO IMPROVE METABOLIC, CARDIOVASCULAR, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTCOMES. - EXERCISE AND DIET PROMOTION; - RESTRICTING THE USE OF SNAP/FOOD STAMPS TO BUY UNHEALTHY FOOD; AND, - STATEWIDE TELEPSYCHIATRY AND CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICES. 4. TO USE TECHNOLOGY AND PAYMENT MODELS TO IMPROVE CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND BRING CARE CLOSER TO HOME. - CLINICALLY-INTEGRATED CARE COORDINATION FOR PEOPLE AT HIGH RISK OF CHRONIC DISEASE; AND, - NON-EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION. WE WERE REQUESTED TO ASSUME A HYPOTHETICAL $200,000,000 TOTAL BUDGET FOR THIS PROPOSAL. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT WYOMING ACTUALLY RECEIVES, 48% OF THE FUNDING WILL SUPPORT ACCESS TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE, 25% WILL INCREASE RURAL WORKFORCE SUPPLY, 16% IS TARGETED AT IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES, 10% WILL HELP PROVIDERS ACQUIRE INNOVATIVE NEW TECHNOLOGY, AND LESS THAN 1% WILL COVER STATE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. ALTHOUGH THIS FUNDING IS TIME-LIMITED, ALL OF OUR INITIATIVES ARE INTENTIONALLY BUILT FOR THE LONG-TERM.
