Office of Community Health Development
Critical Access Hospital Program Coordination

The Office of Community Health Development works with the Office of Rural Health to implement the Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant for Nebraska's 65 critical access hospitals. This Program improves rural health care access and reduces hospital closures. Grant funds are used to provide technical assistance to critical access hospitals (CAHs), support CAH network activities, use the Balanced Scorecard, and improve the quality of health care services.

The continuation grant application for the 2008 Small Rural Hospital Hospital Improvement Grant Program (SHIP) is due to the Office of Community Health Development by February 20, 2008. The grant period is September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009. The application is available in two versions: a standard form and an electronic, form-filled form.
