Procurement
The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services, Medical Services Division, is accepting applications for a vendor to provide Critical Access Hospital Networking support for the development, expansion and sustainability of a statewide clinically integrated network that serves independent critical access hospitals in North Dakota.
The 69th North Dakota Legislative Assembly in 2025 appropriated $2,000,000 through HB 1012, Section 18, from the Community Health Trust Fund to fund this project.
This funding builds on the previous biennium’s efforts (SB 2012, 2023) to strengthen rural health care capacity, data-sharing and value-based care readiness.
