联邦医保中心向密苏里州投入3970万美元改造乡村医疗：26家机构升级孕产、行为健康与影像诊断服务
美国联邦医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心（CMS）10月30日宣布，特朗普政府通过「乡村医疗转型计划」（Rural Health Transformation Program）向密苏里州投入3,970万美元，支持26家乡村医疗机构翻新、重整、装备或改用现有设施，扩大孕产、行为健康、诊断、门诊与慢性病管理服务。
这笔投入将带来新的分娩与私人分诊房间；为老年人与物质使用障碍患者扩大的行为健康服务；以及包括磁共振（MRI）、乳腺摄影与超声在内的升级诊断设备。资金还将扩大初级医疗服务、提高乡村诊所的承接能力，帮助乡村机构更新设施与服务能力，更贴合当地社区的医疗需求。
「特朗普总统明白，无论住在哪里，每位美国人都应享有高质量的医疗。」卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪说。CMS 主任梅赫梅特·奥兹（Dr. Mehmet Oz）表示，这笔投入不是把钱扔给「破碎的现状」，而是资助建设更强、更可持续的乡村医疗体系所需的结构性改进，并称这些投资已在为密苏里州乡村居民带来更好的就医可及性与更高质量的护理。
密苏里州州长迈克·基霍（Mike Kehoe）表示，这笔投资将帮助乡村医疗机构现代化设施、扩充孕产与行为健康服务、加强全州关键护理的可及性。联邦参议员埃里克·施密特、联邦众议员安·瓦格纳、鲍勃·翁德与杰森·史密斯等人也发声支持；史密斯称，该计划正是他把乡村医疗转型计划写入《一个大而美法案》时的初衷，过去十年密苏里州已有十几家乡村医院关闭。
CMS 介绍，这笔投入是密苏里州2026财年乡村医疗转型计划整体资金的一部分；该计划由《工薪家庭减税法》提供的历史性500亿美元投入支持，整体工作重点包括建设乡村医疗队伍、加强乡村设施与就医可及性、推进创新护理与支付模式、扩大社区与预防性护理，以及乡村医疗技术现代化。今天宣布的3,970万美元是其中用于设施与设备改造的一笔。
CMS Announces $39.7 Million to Modernize Rural Healthcare Across Missouri, Supporting 26 Providers
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on October 30 that the Trump Administration is providing $39.7 million in Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) funding to modernize rural healthcare services and expand access to care across Missouri. The investment will support 26 rural healthcare providers as they renovate, reconfigure, equip, or repurpose existing facilities, to expand maternal health, behavioral health, diagnostic, outpatient, and chronic disease management services.
The funding will deliver new labor, delivery, and private triage rooms; expanded behavioral health services for older adults and people with substance use disorders; and upgraded diagnostic equipment, including MRI, mammography and ultrasound services. It will also expand primary care and increase the capacity of rural health clinics, CMS said.
"President Trump understands that every American deserves high-quality healthcare, no matter where they live," said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said the program is funding "the structural improvements necessary to build stronger, more sustainable rural health systems" instead of "throwing money at a broken status quo."
Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe said the investments will help rural providers modernize facilities, expand maternal and behavioral health services, and strengthen access to critical care across the state. Senator Eric Schmitt, Representatives Ann Wagner and Bob Onder, and Representative Jason Smith, who wrote the program into the Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, also welcomed the award, noting that a dozen rural hospitals have closed across Missouri in the last ten years.
Today's announcement is one part of the larger overall RHTP funding awarded to Missouri for fiscal year 2026, backed by the historic $50 billion investment in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. The program's broader priorities include building the rural healthcare workforce, strengthening rural facilities and access, advancing innovative care and payment models, expanding community-based and preventive care, and modernizing rural healthcare technology.
