Telecommunications solutions funding help is available

High-quality connectivity solutions are a necessity in healthcare today. To send large imaging files, support applications like telehealth or the demands of interoperability, rural healthcare providers need high-speed, reliable and low latency telecommunications services.

Knowing how critical these services are to delivering quality care and improving patient outcomes in rural and underserved communities and the difficulty in funding technology enhancements, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) developed the Rural Health Care (RHC) Program. The program offers significant funding assistance for a variety of expenses for broadband connectivity through the Healthcare Connect Fund.
