Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP): Share Your Voice

​The Maryland Department of Health is seeking projects, concepts, and approaches that can help transform rural health. These ideas will be used to craft the state's proposal to improve rural health in Maryland. It is important that the Department hears directly from residents who live and work in rural Maryland.
