The Texas Rural Hospital Broadband Infrastructure Program (BIP) directly enables work, education, and health monitoring through improving the connectivity of rural hospitals in Texas to meet the needs of patients in the communities that they serve. This initiative is specifically tailored to fortify connectivity in rural Texas hospitals, to enhance healthcare accessibility, and elevate the quality of life within rural communities across the state. Rural communities often face challenges in accessing critical healthcare services, and the lack of reliable broadband infrastructure has been a longstanding barrier to progress. The program will be made available to all rural Texas hospitals.
