Arkansas rural health plan
The Arkansas RHT Program expands access, strengthens care, grows the healthcare workforce, and advances telehealth to improve health outcomes and service quality for rural residents and communities statewide
Initiatives, as the state's abstract names them (page 7):
- Healthy Eating, Active Recreation, and Transformation (HEART)
- Promoting Access Coordination and Transformation (PACT)
- Recruitment Innovation Skills and Education for Arkansas (RISE AR)
- Telehealth Health-monitoring and Response Innovation for Vital Expansion (THRIVE)
CMS says the abstract budgets are illustrative and are not award amounts, so none are shown.

About this data
County rates are CDC PLACES model-based estimates of adults, built from the CDC BRFSS survey and Census population data. State and US figures are BRFSS survey results for the same year. They are not averages of counties, and small differences may not be meaningful.
Shortage rows are HRSA designations with status Designated. Scores run from 0 to 25 (0 to 26 for dental); a higher score means greater need. Hospitals are acute care and critical access hospitals CMS lists in the county, with 30-day rates of unplanned readmission. Health centers are active HRSA-funded and look-alike sites.
Rural health plan initiatives are copied as the state wrote them. Nothing here is medical advice.
