Flex Program (Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant Program)
Rural Hospital Technical Assistance
The Rural Hospital Flexibility Program is designed to be an opportunity for rural hospitals to examine their markets, address community needs, and construct new organizational linkages. The Rural Hospital Technical Assistance program is intended for all rural hospitals in North Dakota. Some rural hospitals will use the Flex program to convert to Critical Access Hospital status while other hospitals will continue as general acute care hospitals. Whether a hospital converts, or not, the technical assistance program is intended to assist all rural hospitals to better understand their markets and communities. The following list constitutes services available, free-of-charge, to North Dakota's rural hospitals. Activities are supported by grant dollars from the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program, Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
