AUSTIN, Texas – Governor Greg Abbott announced the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is awarding $17 million in grant funding to eligible hospitals to continue improving healthcare services for rural communities. The Texas Rural Hospital Financial Stabilization Grant will provide qualifying hospitals $100,000 to $375,000 over a two-year period.

“The State of Texas continues to provide crucial funding and resources to rural hospitals so we can more effectively serve Texans in their communities,” said Governor Abbott. “This $17 million in grant funding will help ensure Texans from every corner of the state have greater access to the quality healthcare services they need and deserve. I thank the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for their tireless work to expand healthcare access in our rural communities. Together, we will continue to build a healthier, stronger Texas.”

“I thank Governor Abbott and state lawmakers for this important funding,” said Texas Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner Cecile Erwin Young. “Rural hospitals are a critical part of the healthcare system in Texas, and HHSC is proud to facilitate initiatives like this to support Texans and our rural communities.”
