Indiana Funds Rural Health Innovation | Indianapolis News
Description
Indiana’s launching GROW Rural Health, a $120 million state-federal initiative to slash rural healthcare gaps by boosting prevention and bringing care closer to home. With rural ER visits taking 45 minutes or more and maternal care even longer, health outcomes lag behind statewide—especially for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Dr. Lindsay Weaver, still working ER shifts, champions this push to keep people out of emergency rooms through community-based solutions like food programs, expanded telehealth, and paramedic-led follow-ups. Proposals must be evidence-based, collaborative, and sustainable beyond the grant. Final awards drop Sept 1—but don’t worry, funding’s available for five years.
