Work alongside local health care providers and community leaders to close rural health care gaps and ensure East Texans can access the care they need.

Our goal is to work alongside them to close those gaps and ensure every East Texan has access to the care they need.

Moran says he will partner with local providers and community leaders to expand rural access to quality care in East Texas.

During National Public Health Week, Rep. Nathaniel Moran joined Sen. John Cornyn in Tyler for a meeting with East Texas health care providers, educators, and community leaders at the University of Texas at Tyler Health Science Center. The office said Moran and Cornyn met stakeholders from across the region to hear how the Rural Health Transformation Program is helping hospitals, clinics, and providers modernize health systems to better meet community needs.

Concrete outreach to local providers and leaders shows active engagement on rural health access, but it documents discussion and coordination rather than a completed fix to care gaps.

Section 71401 creates the Rural Health Transformation Program, appropriating $10 billion for each fiscal year 2026 through 2030 and requiring state plans to improve access to hospitals, other health care providers, and health care items and services for rural residents. The statute also prioritizes partnerships, recruitment and training, telehealth, and sustainable access to high-quality rural care.

Federal law now provides a major rural-health funding mechanism that directly addresses the access gaps Moran says he wants to close, but it is an upstream policy vehicle rather than proof that East Texas access problems have been solved.

Moran wrote that Texas had received $281 million through the Rural Health Transformation Program and said the resources would provide a vital safety net for rural communities, especially in East Texas. He said he would visit health care professionals at UT Tyler Health Science Center to discuss how RHTP funding would improve operations throughout East Texas and how it could help smaller providers stay afloat.

This is a policy-facing statement tying the promise to existing federal funding and planned provider discussions, but it still stops short of showing measurable access gains or closures of the rural health gap.
