About this recipient
The Cabinet for Health Services Kentucky has received approximately $31.6 billion in federal funding across 23 awards, with the Department of Health and Human Services accounting for $31.1 billion of that total. The Department of Agriculture provided an additional $493.2 million. The majority of funding supports social services programs, followed by health and biotech initiatives, with a smaller allocation to other sectors and energy.
The cabinet's federal awards include Medicaid entitlements for fiscal year 2026, epidemiology and laboratory capacity grants for infectious disease prevention and control, and rural health transformation initiatives. These programs aim to improve health outcomes and expand access to care across Kentucky's rural areas, which comprise a significant portion of the state's 1.87 million residents.
