OnMed Powers Immediate Rural Health Transformation

Healthcare is the foundation of thriving communities, yet for millions of Americans, access remains just out of reach. Rural towns, farming communities, and underserved regions aren’t asking for miracles—they’re asking for the basics: reliable, affordable care close to home. Now, for the first time in a generation, we have both the mandate and the means to deliver it.

Rural America needs transformation now. And the Rural Health Transformation Plan (RHTP) is calling for exactly that—bold, sustainable, innovative solutions that can reimagine how care reaches communities too often left behind.

The challenge is clear: build infrastructure that not only addresses today’s inequities but ensures long-term resilience for rural populations. The opportunity is just as clear: we can meet people where they are, with out brick-and-mortar delays, without broadband limitations, and without waiting years for access to improve. This isn’t tomorrow’s idea—it’s today’s reality.

What the Rural Health Transformation Plan Demands

For states to succeed in securing federal funding, RHTP applications must align to five core priorities:

  • Make Rural America Healthy Again – preventive care, chronic disease management, prenatal care, behavioral health.
  • Sustainable Access – permanent, reliable care points with efficient coordination.
  • Workforce Development – maximize scarce clinicians and empower community health workers.
  • Innovative Care Models – hybrid approaches that improve outcomes and reduce costs.
  • Technology Innovation – digital connectivity, secure data, and tech-enabled diagnostics.

States that can convincingly check every box will win. And OnMed is uniquely positioned to help them do it.

Why OnMed Is Healthcare Now

OnMed isn’t a promise for the future—we are healthcare now. Our CareStations are already deployed in seven states and Puerto Rico, with additional states on the horizon. These 8'x10’ “Clinics-in-a-Box” require nothing more than an electrical outlet. No costly construction. No multi-year buildout. From contract to deployment, a CareStation can be fully operational in just 30 days.

Inside, patients step into a private, soundproof environment where advanced diagnostics are a part of the device ecosystem and a clinician greets them on a 65” screen as though standing right there. Unlike traditional telehealth, this is comprehensive, physical and digital, empowering patients while enabling clinicians to diagnose, triage, and treat with precision.

  • 85%+ of patients are fully diagnosed without a specialist referral.
  • 78% of CareStation users do not have a primary care provider—OnMed closes this critical gap.
  • Over 50% say they would have otherwise gone to the ER or urgent care, reducing cost and easing strain on rural hospitals.
  • 37%+ are repeat users, with a satisfaction score of 4.96/5 and a 99% willingness to recommend.

Aligning Directly to RHTP Goals

  • Preventive & Chronic Care: CareStations deliver everyday healthcare, chronic disease treatment plans, behavioral health screenings, and prenatal guidance and routing.
  • Sustainable Access: Plug-and-play design creates physical access points with minimal overhead.
  • Workforce Development: Local staff and community health workers are supported by remote clinicians practicing at the top of their license.
  • Innovative Care Models: A hybrid of in-person comprehensive care and diagnostics plus the scalability of telehealth, that reduces ER reliance and improves outcomes.
  • Technology Innovation: Secure broadband and satellite connectivity, advanced diagnostics, and compliant data protocols for sharing and protection.

Every requirement of the Rural Health Transformation Plan is already embedded in OnMed’s model.

The Competitive Edge for States

Partnering with OnMed means states can submit proposals that are not just visionary, but operational today:

  • Operational now: Active in 7 states and Puerto Rico.
  • Proven outcomes: Closing gaps, reducing ER strain, building trust.
  • Scalable: No construction delays—just plug in and start care in 30 days.
  • Aligned with CMS: Directly addresses every RHTP criterion with measurable results.

Built to Last

The Rural Health Transformation Plan isn’t about short-term funding. It’s about building lasting healthcare infrastructure for millions of Americans who deserve better. States that seize this moment will not only successfully secure CMS funding, but will also reshape rural healthcare for generations to come.

OnMed is already doing it. We are the only solution with immediacy, scalability, longevity, and proven impact to make the RHTP a reality.

OnMed is the rural health solution America has been waiting for.
