Maine to receive funding from Rural Health Transformation Program

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Sen. Susan Collins says Maine will receive more than $190 million in the second year of a program she proposed.

The funding comes from the Rural Health Transformation Program.

Maine will get about $360,000 more than last year.

In a statement, Collins said, “Funding from this program has already been used to protect the Penobscot Community Health Center from bankruptcy and will be crucial to helping rural health care providers in Maine innovate to lower costs and improve health outcomes for Mainers no matter where they live.”
