The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $768,055 project grant on August 16, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to examine hospital closure risk and evaluate the potential impact of global budget models in rural areas using a social resource-based lens. The research integrates comprehensive data sources, including Kythera Labs claims data covering Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, and hospital cost reports, to assess both the financial sustainability of hospitals and health outcomes of rural populations following closures. The study addresses rural healthcare access by analyzing how community socio-environmental characteristics contribute to hospital financial stability, with particular focus on low-resourced areas where 194 rural hospitals have closed since 2005 and closures doubled between 2013 and 2017. The research evaluates global budget models—an approach pioneered in Maryland that allows rural hospitals to engage in community-based services outside the hospital setting to address community needs and reduce hospitalization demand—as a potential strategy to improve long-term sustainability of rural healthcare systems. Performance occurs in Baltimore, Maryland, with a period of performance through January 31, 2031.
