Overview

The department convened a statewide kickoff webinar and in-person meeting to formally launch implementation of the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) and to share early direction on how the program will be structured, governed, and rolled out over the coming years.

Future Convening notices, registration links, materials, and summaries will be posted publicly when available. 

2026 Event Recap

Health care providers, Tribal health organizations, community-based organizations, local governments, and other partners across Alaska came together to learn about next steps as part of the ongoing engagement process.

Department leadership emphasized that this kickoff event was intended as a high-level introduction and that additional details, guidance, and opportunities for engagement will be provided through future webinars, written guidance, and in-person convenings.

Participants were encouraged to view the RHTP as a long-term, system-level investment rather than a one-time grant opportunity.
