Rural Health Access Through Transportation | Fargo News

North Dakota’s Health and Human Services is launching a bold new program to fix a critical rural healthcare gap: transportation. With federal backing, the state is offering funding for accessible vehicles like wheelchair-equipped vans to help patients get to appointments. Rural providers can apply now—deadline August 19, 2026—to receive funds that must be spent by August 31, 2027. Commissioner Pat Traynor calls it simple: you can’t get better if you can’t get there. This move is part of a larger effort to bring high-quality care closer to home—and it’s about making sure every patient can access the care they deserve.
