CMS announced $39.7 million in federal funding to support rural healthcare modernization efforts in Missouri. The funding is part of a broader federal effort targeting rural health infrastructure and access. Specific program details, including which facilities or services will receive funds, were not outlined in the announcement. Rural hospitals, clinics, and providers serving Medicaid and other patients in Missouri's rural communities stand to benefit from infrastructure and capacity investments.
