The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) provides equitable health care to the nation’s highest-need communities. Our programs support people with low incomes, people with HIV, pregnant people, children, parents, rural communities, transplant patients, and the health workforce.
The Organizations of State and Local Officials (NOSLO) Program focuses on State Health Services and Financing, aiming to fund a national level organization with substantial expertise in offering technical support to State Medicaid Directors and health care payment officials. This initiative is designed to assist states in leveraging HRSA programs and fostering collaboration with Medicaid, thereby enhancing access to quality health care for communities with significant needs. Emphasis is on addressing maternal health disparities, strengthening the health workforce, integrating behavioral health with primary care, and broadening health care access for populations in dire need, such as rural residents, individuals exiting incarceration, people living with HIV, and youth with unmet behavioral health requirements. The grant supports customized technical assistance that aligns with HRSA's priorities, promoting effective communication, information dissemination, training, data handling, and organization of significant learning exchanges and other collaborative endeavors aimed at optimizing HRSA program benefits and enhancing coordinated responses to health care challenges.
