Sunshine Health recently awarded $50,000 in grants to five rural healthcare providers across Florida to help strengthen access to care through technology. Each organization received $10,000 to support innovative solutions that improve patient engagement, enhance care coordination, and help reduce avoidable emergency department visits.
Charlene Zein, president and CEO of Sunshine Health, shared: “We're thrilled to help providers bolster and expand their work to engage our health plan members in rural areas. Their smart, practical use of technology will improve the lives of people in some of the state's most vulnerable communities.”
Congratulations to our 2026 Rural Health Technology Grant recipients: Calhoun Liberty Hospital Foundation, Doctors Memorial Hospital, Palm Glades Rural Health Associates, Northwest Florida Healthcare, Inc., and Sunrise Family Practice, LLC.
