Denali Borough applies for rural health transformation grant to fund coordinator role
Summary
The Assembly approved a resolution to apply for $107,009.85 through the Rural Health Transformation Program to hire a project coordinator who would support grant-writing, provider recruitment and health-system transformation efforts across the borough.
The Denali Borough Assembly on July 28 approved Resolution 26-15 to apply for $107,009.85 from the Rural Health Transformation Program. If awarded, the funds would support a temporary project coordinator to help the borough and partner organizations prepare further grant applications, convene stakeholders, and support the Denali Healthcare Advocates and Tri Valley Fire Department in health-care transformation efforts.
Administration framed the position as a time-limited role that would strengthen year-2 applications and build capacity for provider recruitment and the health-care provider loan program. Assembly members asked about the budget line items (wages, benefits, supplies) and confirmed the grant would fund less-than-a-full-year work consistent with program timelines; the borough emphasized it would only post or hire if the award is received.
The Assembly approved the resolution by roll call. Next steps include completing the application materials and, if awarded, moving forward with a job posting and program execution consistent with grant terms.
