Department of Health to Notify Awardees for Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program

The Department of Health will notify awardees for the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program the week of July 10, 2017. Funding for these grants was authorized in the 2017-18 enacted Budget. The funding will be administered by the Department and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York and will help support the objectives of the Delivery System Reform Incentive Program (DSRIP). The purpose of DSRIP is to reduce health care costs and improve the health outcomes for New Yorkers by expanding access to inpatient, primary, preventative and other ambulatory care services as part of regionally integrated healthcare delivery systems. The Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program awards are also focused on projects which will help ensure the financial sustainability of safety net healthcare providers.
