Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program RFA Webinar
The Department of Health (DOH) has announced an upcoming applicant webinar on the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program Request for Application (RFA), scheduled for Monday, Aug. 8th at 1:00 PM. As we reported in an earlier member alert and Intelligence article, DOH and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) announced on July 20 the availability of funds under this program, established pursuant to Section 2825-d of the Public Health Law.
As discussed in the grant announcement:
- A total of up to $195 million is available for health care providers that are deemed by the Commissioner of Health to fulfill or will fulfill a health care need for acute inpatient, outpatient, primary, home care or residential health care services in a community.
- A minimum of $30 million of this total amount is available for community-based health care providers, which are defined as diagnostic and treatment centers, mental health and alcohol and substance abuse treatment clinics, primary care providers and home care providers.
LeadingAge NY will be working with DOH to provide members with the latest information.

Questions regarding the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program (RFA #1607010255) are due by Aug. 10th. They may be emailed to healthcarefacilitytransformation@health.ny.gov. You may also submit your questions to me, and I will forward them to DOH. DOH will be posting responses to all questions on or around Aug. 17th. The responses will be made available to all webinar participants.
LeadingAge NY will be conducting a webinar at the end of August to review the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program RFA for our members. We will keep members posted as additional information becomes available.
