Governor Mike Kehoe, in partnership with the Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS), announced the upcoming launch of more than $55 million in new funding opportunities designed to revitalize, modernize, and strengthen healthcare in rural Missouri.
Administered through Missouri’s groundbreaking Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) and Healthier Communities Together (HCT), these new investments build upon $15 million in recently released discretionary funding. They mark a historic step forward in ensuring that every Missourian, no matter their zip code, has access to high-quality, modern, and reliable healthcare.
“Our rural hospitals, clinics, and frontline clinicians are critical to the success of Missouri communities,” said Governor Kehoe. “With this new $55 million investment, we are putting tools directly into the hands of local providers. We are cutting red tape, upgrading technology to save doctors valuable time, bringing critical maternal and mental health care directly to communities via mobile units, and making sure our rural healthcare workforce has the support they need to stay and thrive right here in Missouri.”…
