Governor Reeves unveils rural health transformation program
Governor Tate Reeves announced a plan Tuesday that focused on rural healthcare.
The state submitted its Rural Health Transformation Program Plan to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The program is a $50 billion federal initiative.
Mississippi’s plan is broken into six initiatives and it is designed to benefit people across the state.
According to the Governor’s Office, the goal of the plan is to ensure that by 2031 every rural Mississippian will have access to high quality healthcare services, both in person and through telehealth, supporting increased access points and healthier communities across Mississippi.
