Healthy Hometowns Cardiovascular Health Hub Program

The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services seeks applications to establish cardiovascular health Hub and Spoke sites. These sites will form a Network to expand access to diagnostics, interventional procedures, and tele-cardiology for rural Iowans. The Network aims to improve cardiovascular care, reduce disparities, and enhance outcomes for patients with heart and vascular diseases. Hub and Spoke sites will collaborate to increase access to advanced cardiac care, supporting local rural providers. Three options are available for participation: Option 1 involves applying as a regional Hub and Spoke Network; Option 2 focuses on expanding Hub capacity in underserved rural areas; Option 3 supports networks focused on preventive and chronic disease management.
