The Washington State Department of Health received a $100,000 Rural Health Care Services Outreach, Rural Health Network Development and Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement Program (CFDA 93.912) Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The grant will fund planning for the development of a rural palliative care network serving Grant County, Washington. The network partners include critical access hospitals, a home health and hospice agency, and an assisted living facility located in HRSA-designated rural areas. The goal is to enhance palliative care coordination and address health disparities faced by the county's rural and Latino/Latina populations. The Department of Health's State Office of Rural Health has extensive experience successfully developing and supporting rural healthcare initiatives, which will guide the network planning process.
