The General Assembly provides grant funding for North Carolina hospitals that serve rural and underserved areas. The focus of these funds has been in three areas: 1) covering costs associated with care provided to uninsured patients, 2) capital projects required to address facility and life safety issues, and 3) operational grants to support the financial viability of qualifying hospitals. The General Assembly makes the determination of annual appropriations for this opportunity. If funding is made available, grant award criteria will be posted here in an RFA format.
The Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program or ‘SHIP’ is designed to assist small rural hospitals. Qualifying hospitals are those with 49 or fewer beds noted on the most recently filed Medicare Cost Report and which are located outside a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or in a rural tract of an MSA. While the specific goals of the program change from year to year, the funds are consistently used to help these hospitals cover costs related to Medicare compliance and the improvement of the quality of care provided.
