Turn Microsoft’s rural-health programs into an operating plan for your hospital.
We help eligible rural hospitals verify the current Microsoft Rural Health Resiliency Program path, understand the benefits that apply, coordinate the Microsoft and tenant prerequisites, and turn one-time program benefits into a practical technology roadmap.

Program information last verified: August 10, 2026
What the program is
A Microsoft program, not a Centered Networks product.
Microsoft currently describes the Rural Health Resiliency Program as supporting eligible U.S. rural hospitals with AI adoption, cybersecurity, and affordable technology. Eligibility, benefits, and terms are set by Microsoft and confirmed against current Microsoft program documentation for your specific organization and SKUs before scope.
Microsoft sets
Current public program material
- Eligibility rules for specified rural hospital categories
- Nonprofit pricing eligibility for certain independent rural providers
- A Dragon Copilot offer for eligible independent critical access, rural emergency, and rural community hospitals
- Free cloud and AI readiness and cybersecurity assessment opportunities
- Rural-health AI and governance resources
We turn it into a plan
Centered Networks does
Verify, map, coordinate, operationalize
- Verify. Confirm the hospital’s current eligibility against Microsoft’s published criteria and current program documentation.
- Map. Identify which current program benefits, assessments, offers, training, or resources are relevant to the hospital.
- Coordinate. Help organize the Microsoft tenant, licensing, partner, security, and technical prerequisites associated with the benefits the hospital chooses to use.
- Operationalize. Turn assessment results and program benefits into a 90-day modernization, security, and AI-readiness roadmap rather than a folder of one-time resources.
Time-sensitive
The Windows 10 Extended Security Updates window.
As of August 10, 2026, Microsoft publicly states that eligible rural hospitals can receive free Windows 10 Extended Security Updates for up to 250 devices through October 13, 2026.
This benefit is dated deliberately. It is a reason to move now, not a permanent feature of working with Centered Networks. We confirm the current state of the benefit before it is included in any plan.
Boundaries
What this engagement is not.
- Not a guarantee of Microsoft eligibility
- Not a guarantee of Microsoft funding or discounts
- Not a requirement to move every Microsoft service to Centered Networks
- Not a substitute for the hospital’s legal, compliance, security, or clinical governance responsibilities
On pricing: Rural Resiliency Readiness takes two weeks at a $5,000 fixed fee, confirmed in writing once we have verified your hospital’s eligibility, before anything is committed.
Scope, timeline, and fee are confirmed before kickoff. Microsoft licensing and consumption are separate and are billed through your licensing agreement.
After enablement
Where the roadmap can point.
Sometimes the right next step is another Microsoft or partner resource that Centered Networks does not need to deliver. The roadmap should say so when that is true.
Security
CompleteCare Shield
Business-hours security operations on Microsoft Defender XDR and Purview, plus around-the-clock monitoring of identities and endpoints with active response.

Healthcare AI Readiness

See Healthcare AI Readiness →Use the program before the program window moves.
Tell us your hospital type, roughly how many devices and users you run, and what you have already looked at. We verify current eligibility before proposing anything.
