Abstract
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks to provide vital support to assist rural health care providers with the costs of broadband and other eligible services. By offering discounted rates for these services, the Rural Health Care (RHC) Program enables health care providers to better treat patients in rural areas that often have fewer medical resources and higher service rates than in urban areas.
