Governor Kathy Hochul has launched a request for proposals making $950 million in additional state funding available to support projects that will transform and secure New York State’s health care delivery system. Administered by the State Department of Health and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program will help to improve patient care by supporting high-quality facilities serving the inpatient, primary care, mental health, substance use disorder and long-term care needs of communities throughout the state.
The funding will award projects throughout the state. Interested organizations can find eligibility information through either the New York State Contract Reporter or within the Grants Gateway.
Three requests for proposals (RFP) were issued, including:
- Up to $250 million from Statewide IV to drive transformative healthcare investments
- Up to $650 million to support investments in technology and cybersecurity in healthcare facilities
- Up to $50 million for nursing home innovation projects
The Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program is aimed at supporting efforts to reduce healthcare costs and improve the health outcomes of New Yorkers by expanding access to inpatient, primary, preventative, and other ambulatory care services as part of regionally integrated healthcare delivery systems. These funds are also focused on projects which will help ensure the financial sustainability of safety net health care providers and the preservation or expansion of essential health care services.
