The Healthcare Connect Fund Program provides funding to eligible rural public or nonprofit healthcare sites and consortia for broadband connections. Eligible facilities include hospitals, clinics, educational institutions offering healthcare instruction, mental health centers, and more. Funding supports connections to off-site data centers and administrative offices used for healthcare purposes. Applicants must submit FCC Form 460, which can be filed anytime during the year and updated if information changes.
Eligible applicants are public or nonprofit healthcare-related sites such as hospitals, clinics, educational institutions, and health centers located in rural areas or consortia with over 50% rural members. Consortia must include at least one eligible facility type.
