Missouri has been awarded over $216,000,000 in Year 1 through the Rural Health Transformation Program. This funding is part of the national $50 billion investment supporting rural access, workforce capacity, infrastructure, and care model redesign.
Missouri’s implementation plans include several early opportunities for engagement and procurement in 2026:
Quarter One 2026
- Requests for Information (RFIs) for technology solutions
- Social Care Referral Platform / Community Information Exchange
- Ambient AI and clinical workflow tools
Quarter Two 2026
- Stakeholder input on Hub Boundary Map
- Feedback on Remote Patient Technology priorities
Quarter Three 2026
- Request for Proposals (RFP) for Social Care Referral Platform / Community Information Exchange
- Vendor bidding process expected
These activities create structured entry points for partners, vendors, and providers to participate and align with Missouri’s strategy.
If you plan to respond to Missouri’s RFIs or future RFPs, or want to review project concepts for alignment, Burrows Consulting can support positioning and readiness.
