Today, I announced 167 Rural Health Transformation Program awards totaling more than $104 million. When we began this work, we set out to do more than simply invest in the healthcare system we already have. We set out to transform how rural Mississippians access care – bringing more services closer to home, strengthening the providers and facilities that rural communities depend on, and using technology and innovation to better connect patients to care across our state.
