Developing Deuel County 

Deuel County has faced the challenges of continued development, sustained job growth, population growth and quality housing for quite some time. These challenges seem to be inherent in the rural areas of our country and demand continued attention if the communities are to hold their own in today’s economy. 

To that end, there have been a number of development organizations through the years that have done their best to promote growth. Some have been based at the city level and some at the county level. Without giving a history lesson listing all the development organizations of the past, it should be sufficient to note that Deuel Area Development, Inc. (DADI) is the current group working to develop business and housing in Deuel County. 

You have probably also heard of the Deuel County Community Foundation (DCCF). The foundation is another ‘development’ organization but it works not with business and housing, but rather with others in Deuel County to offer quality-of-life enhancements to the area.  

Deuel County Community Foundation Scholarship

• $500.00 Scholarships will be awarded during second semester of first year.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services invites proposals from Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), Rural Emergency Hospitals (REHs), Regional Rural Hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers to implement initiative 4.4b hospital-to-home Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) programs across rural Nebraska.

This initiative is funded through the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) and supports Nebraska's strategy to expand innovative care delivery models that improve chronic disease management, strengthen rural health infrastructure, and reduce avoidable hospital utilization.

Remote Patient Monitoring technologies allow providers to track patient health data outside traditional clinical settings using connected devices that transmit clinical data to care teams. These technologies enable earlier detection of clinical deterioration, improve patient engagement, and support continuous care management for rural patients who face barriers to frequent in-person care.

This RFA focuses on expanding hospital-based RPM programs that monitor patients at home, particularly individuals with chronic disease or those recently discharged from hospitals who require close follow-up monitoring.

Funded projects will support the implementation or expansion of hospital-based Remote Patient Monitoring programs designed to improve clinical outcomes and reduce avoidable hospital utilization among rural populations. Projects should focus on hospital-to-home monitoring models that enable hospitals or health centers to remotely track patients' health status using FDA-cleared or FDA-approved monitoring technologies.

RPM programs should prioritize patients with chronic conditions such as:

• Hypertension (excluding hypertensive disorders of pregnancy)
• Diabetes
• COPD
• Cardiovascular disease (excluding heart failure)
• Chronic Kidney Disease
• Behavioral Health
• Other high-risk chronic conditions

RPM programs may also include monitoring for:

• Post-discharge follow-up care
• Sub-acute monitoring of complex patients
• Care management for high-risk populations
• Monitoring of waiver populations or patients receiving community-based services
• Psycho-social emotional well-being engagement

Funding Amounts

• Awards will be made based on project scope, hospital or FQHC size, and the population served.
• Single applications should request no less than $200,000 and no more than $1,000,000.
