Requesting a Letter of Support
Are you thinking about applying for one of the many federal grants available to rural hospitals to improve the delivery of healthcare in rural areas? While not a guarantee, a strong letter of support can significantly enhance the competitiveness of a grant application, add credibility, and demonstrate commitment to a project, showing it has the backing of relevant stakeholders.
