密苏里州获联邦乡村医疗转型计划第二年2.18亿美元拨款，金额居全美前十
密苏里州州长 Mike Kehoe 与州社会服务部2026年11月10日宣布，密苏里州获得联邦乡村医疗转型计划（RHTP）第二年拨款2.18亿美元（精确数额218,547,090美元），金额继续排在全美前十。消息在州府 Jefferson City 发布，Jefferson City 位于密苏里州科尔县。
第二年的金额比第一年略高，第一年密苏里州拿到216,276,818美元。那笔钱在全州建起了27个由地方主导的 ToRCH 护理中心，覆盖全部104个乡村县，用于医院基础设施、基本医疗服务、医疗人才发展和技术现代化。
RHTP 的拨款按年度发放，金额与各州的执行进度挂钩。州政府说，第二年细节，包括新的举措、申请机会和时间表，将与联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）敲定后陆续公布。
Kehoe 说，这笔投资说明联邦对密苏里州加强乡村医疗的持续信任，资金将用来增强社区层面的服务、让就医更可靠，并支持医疗机构为居民打下更稳固的健康基础。社会服务部部长 Jess Bax 说，第二年的资金会让乡村社区有资源去加强服务、改善就医条件。
乡村医疗转型计划是联邦政府面向全美50州的五年期计划，按州逐年评审发放。密苏里州的乡村县占全州县数的大头，这笔钱花得怎么样，直接关系到乡村居民看病远不远、等多久。

Missouri Secures $218 Million in Year Two Rural Health Transformation Funding, Ranking in the National Top Ten
Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe and the Missouri Department of Social Services announced on November 10, 2026, that Missouri has been awarded $218 million in Year Two funding through the federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), $218,547,090 in exact terms, keeping the state in the top ten nationally. The announcement was made in Jefferson City, the state capital in Cole County, Missouri.
The Year Two award builds on the state's first-year allocation of $216,276,818, which established 27 locally led ToRCH Care Hubs serving all 104 rural counties and supported hospital infrastructure, essential health care services, workforce development and technology modernization.
RHTP funding is awarded annually based on state performance. The state said additional details on Year Two initiatives, funding opportunities and timelines will be shared as they are finalized in coordination with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Kehoe said the investment reflects continued trust in Missouri's commitment to strengthening care across its rural communities, allowing the state to enhance community-based services, ensure more reliable access to care and support providers in building a stronger foundation of health. Department of Social Services Director Jess Bax said the funding equips rural communities with the resources they need to strengthen services and improve access.
The RHTP is a five-year federal programme covering all 50 states, with awards reviewed state by state each year. Rural counties account for the large majority of Missouri's counties, so how this money is spent directly affects how far rural residents travel for care and how long they wait.
