Expressing commitment to the rural health transformation program and articulating priorities for the program; acknowledging the critical health care challenges facing rural areas of the state; urging action by the Governor and the Alaska delegation in Congress to continue to advocate for the state's interests and advance the rural health transformation program; and expressing legislative intent to enact comprehensive legislation relating to the rural health transformation program and the state's medical care and critical health care needs.

SJR 27 is a legislative resolution expressing Alaska's commitment to the federal Rural Health Transformation Program, which awarded the state $272 million for health system improvements. It outlines six priority areas for using these funds: expanding rural health access, strengthening maternal care, building telehealth infrastructure, supporting health workforce development, modernizing technology, and promoting community wellness. The resolution urges the Governor and Alaska's congressional delegation to advocate for continued federal support and establishes a December 2027 deadline for the state to pass enabling legislation to maintain full funding. It directly affects rural Alaskans and Alaska Native communities facing health access challenges, particularly in remote areas. The resolution itself does not change policy but sets priorities for future legislation to implement the program.
