Missouri Rural Transformation Office Announces Selection of Hub Anchor Organizations to Advance Rural Health Transformation
The Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS) has selected Hub Anchor organizations to help lead implementation of Missouri’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) through its Transformation of Rural Community Health (ToRCH) Care model. The selection of Hub Anchors marks a significant milestone in advancing Missouri’s vision for a more coordinated, community-driven rural healthcare system and represents the transition from program planning to regional implementation.
Missouri’s Rural Health Transformation Office received 41 Hub Anchor applications, representing all 27 ToRCH Care Community Hub Areas, from a variety of organizations, including hospitals, FQHCs, behavioral health organizations, local public health agencies, nonprofits, and universities. The strong response reflects broad engagement from organizations across Missouri committed to improving the health of their rural communities through collaboration and local leadership. Applications were evaluated through a competitive review process using standardized criteria that assessed organizational readiness, governance capacity, community partnerships, staffing plans, operational capabilities, and alignment with the goals of Missouri’s RHTP.
Following this competitive review process, one Hub Anchor organization was selected to serve each ToRCH Care Hub. Formal participation in the Rural Health Transformation Program as a Hub Anchor is subject to execution of a Hub Anchor Participation Agreement. The selected 27 organizations are expected to help lead implementation of the ToRCH Care model by convening local leadership, fostering collaboration across healthcare providers and community partners, and supporting sustainable approaches to improving health outcomes in rural Missouri.
As implementation moves forward, the ToRCH Care model is intended to create a more connected experience for rural Missourians by bringing healthcare providers and community organizations together to better coordinate care, connect individuals to local resources, and address the health challenges that matter most in each community.
Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) announces partnership to expand rural maternal healthcare
DSS, through its RHTP, has announced a partnership between the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), Office on Women’s Health and the Missouri Doula Association (MDA) to expand the rural maternal health workforce.
Administered by DSS, on behalf of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), $732,660.43 was awarded to the MDA to strengthen rural doula training and certification infrastructure across the state. The investment is part of the RHTP and supports efforts to expand community-based maternal health services in rural Missouri.
MDA will expand capacity to train, credential, and integrate community-based doulas and perinatal community health workers (PCHWs) into rural health care teams. These professionals will provide support to Missourians throughout pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery, and the early parenting period. The initiative will establish recruitment pipelines, credentialing systems, and strategic partnerships across Missouri's rural health care network to help address critical maternal health workforce shortages.
Key components of the initiative include:
- Training and credentialing community-based doulas and PCHWs using state-approved curricula, including instruction in maternal mental health, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive care.
- Building partnerships with rural Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), critical access and community hospitals, and community-based organizations to integrate doulas and PCHWs into local care teams.
- Establishing recruitment pipelines and credentialing systems that support a sustainable maternal health workforce in rural and underserved communities.
- Providing training in Medicaid billing, reimbursement, and care coordination to help doulas and PCHWs navigate administrative systems and sustain their practices.
- Convening monthly stakeholder meetings to strengthen referral pathways, coordinate case management, and improve resource sharing among participating partners.
MDA will administer the initiative by recruiting participants, overseeing training and credentialing activities, cultivating community partnerships, and reporting program outcomes to DHSS throughout the funding period.

ToRCH Care Hub Onboarding & Operations Procedures Manual
DSS has published the ToRCH Care Hub Onboarding & Operations Procedures Manual to support organizations participating in Missouri’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP).
The Hub Manual serves as the primary operational guide for ToRCH Care Hubs. It outlines the end-to-end process for Hub onboarding, governance and leadership structures, operating and support models, roles and responsibilities, localized programs, standard operating procedures, and data and assessment tools. It also includes key templates, tools, and sample materials to support Hub planning and ongoing operations.
The Manual is designed to support Hub Anchors and members, Regional Care Networks (RCNs), and other partners and stakeholders involved in establishing and operating ToRCH Care.
DSS encourages all interested hub participants to read and review the Manual alongside other RHTP program materials. DSS has also prepared a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document to assist. These are working documents.
By establishing a shared understanding of ToRCH Care expectations, processes, and operational requirements, the Manual aims to be a comprehensive and continuously updated resource for all ToRCH Care Hubs.

MO HealthNet Division invites providers to share input on APMs
MO HealthNet Division has launched a survey to gather provider input on alternative payment models (APMs). The survey seeks feedback on providers’ past experiences with APMs, perceived challenges and benefits, and their readiness to implement these models. It is intended for hospitals, FQHCs, primary care and multi‑specialty practices, and specialist groups, though any provider with APM experience may participate.
Organizations that complete the survey may be invited to help shape future MO HealthNet APM initiatives. The survey, funded through the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), is open to both rural and urban providers. It will remain open through June 19 and should be completed once per organization. Support materials are available, and questions may be directed to DSS.RHTP@dss.mo.gov.
Complete the survey by June 19 to help inform Missouri’s approach to alternative payment models.
ToRCH Care Roadshows
In May and June, team members from Missouri’s Rural Health Transformation Office launched the ToRCH Care Roadshows, a series of 12 in‑person sessions designed to connect directly with rural communities. The ToRCH Care Roadshows engaged rural healthcare providers, community organizations, and partners to strengthen collaboration and support improved access to care across Missouri.

ToRCH Care Webinars
DSS invited rural healthcare providers, community-based organizations, and other stakeholders to participate in a series of informational webinars supporting Missouri’s implementation of the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). Missouri is launching Transformation of Rural Community Health (ToRCH) Care, the state’s coordinated model to enhance rural healthcare delivery and improve community outcomes.
There were four webinars hosted from April to May 2026. The webinars included an informational section, dedicated time for Q&A, and a testimonial from current ToRCH pilot partners. The presentations of the webinars are available below.
- ToRCH Care program overview webinar
- Hospital-specific program deep dive
- Non-hospital clinical providers deep dive (e.g., FQHCs, RHCs, CCBHCs, EMS, pharmacies)
- Community institutions deep dive (e.g., CBOs, LPHAs)
- Strategic Goals
The Five Strategic Goals
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has outlined five core goals that guide the RHTP. These goals provide a clear roadmap for the types of projects Missouri will pursue to transform its rural healthcare landscape.
Improve Rural Health:
The goal is about stopping people from getting sick before it happens, as well as ensuring appropriate access to early identification and upstream interventions. It helps with projects that keep us healthy, looking at the main reasons for diseases like diabetes and heart problems, and make it easier to get important services like mental health and care for pregnant women.1
Sustainable Access:
The goal is to keep rural hospitals and clinics open by encouraging them to work together. This means they will share resources, improve how they operate, and become
financially stable. This way, they can continue to be trusted places for healthcare in their communities.1Workforce Development:
The goal is to help fix the shortage of healthcare workers in rural Missouri. It supports programs that bring in, train, and keep skilled workers, such as doctors, nurses, community health workers, and technicians.1
Innovative Care:
The goal is to create a Community Health Hub, which brings hospitals, clinics, and other community leaders together to meet the health needs of their specific community.
This will allow hospitals and clinics to get paid to help patients stay healthy in addition to helping treat them when they get sick.1Tech Innovation:
The goal is to use new technology to make healthcare better in rural areas. This means using things like video calls for doctor visits, keeping track of patients from far away, and safely sharing information. This will make healthcare easier and faster for people and doctors in rural areas.1

- Toolbox of Strategies
A Toolbox for Change: How Missouri Can Use RHTP Funds
The RHTP provides states with a broad and flexible "toolbox" of approved activities. To be approved, Missouri's plan must include investments in at least three of the eleven categories below.1 These categories directly align with the program's five strategic goals.
Prevention and Chronic Disease:
Funding programs that use evidence-based methods to prevent and manage chronic conditions.
Example: Expanding the use of providers such as Pharmacists, Community Paramedics and Community Health Workers to address chronic diseases at their root cause.
Provider Payments:
Making payments to healthcare providers for services, particularly as part of new, innovative payment models.
Example: A new payment model for providers to help prevent diseases at their root cause in addition to treating those conditions.
Consumer Tech Solutions:
Promoting technology that patients can use themselves to manage their health.
Example: Using the latest technology tools, including Artificial Intelligence, to help predict and manage chronic diseases.
Training and Technical Assistance:
Helping rural hospitals adopt advanced technologies like remote monitoring, robotics, or artificial intelligence.
Example: Provide training to healthcare workers and others on the latest technology such as Artificial Intelligence to make their more efficient.
Workforce:
Recruiting and retaining healthcare professionals in rural areas, with a requirement that they serve in the community for at least five years.
Example: Connecting rural high school students who are interested in health care careers with internships and other healthcare related opportunities.
IT Advances:
Providing funds for significant upgrades to information technology, including software, hardware, and cybersecurity.
Example: Connecting rural healthcare facilities with specialists using telemedicine for complex and urgent medical and behavioral health care.
Appropriate Care Availability:
Assisting rural communities in determining the right mix of healthcare services they need to be sustainable.
Example: Using a combination of technology such as telemedicine and additional workforce members such as community paramedics and pharmacists to connect patients with the right care at the right time at the right place.
Behavioral Health:
Supporting access to mental health and substance use disorder treatment.
Example: Funding the two-year college education for front-line behavioral health workers.
Innovative Care:
Developing new models of care, including value-based payment arrangements.
Example: Establishing local community-based health Hubs across the state in which hospitals, doctors, rural clinics, behavioral health providers and community-based organizations like food pantries and school-based clinics work together to improve the health of their community.
Fostering Collaboration:
Creating strategic partnerships between rural facilities and other providers to improve quality, financial stability, and access to care.
Example: Establishing regional networks run by a collaboration of hospitals, clinics, and behavioral health professionals to coordinate the care most needed in their region.
- How Much Funding is Available?
How RHTP Funding Works: The Two Streams of Support for Missouri
The RHTP will distribute a total of $50 billion nationwide over five federal fiscal years (2026-2030), with $10 billion made available each year.1
1. Baseline Funding (50% of Total)
Half of the program's total funds ($25 billion over five years) are designated as Baseline Funding.1 This money is divided equally among all states that have an approved application. This provides a stable, predictable funding stream that Missouri can count on each year to form the foundation of its transformation plan. If all 50 states are approved, this would amount to approximately $100 million per state annually.10
2. Workload Funding (50% of Total)
The other half of the program's funds ($25 billion over five years) is designated as Workload Funding.1 This funding is distributed competitively based on a formula that evaluates two things: a state's level of rural need and the quality of its transformation plan.1 This creates an opportunity for Missouri to earn significant additional funding by clearly demonstrating its rural health challenges and presenting a thoughtful, strategic, and high-impact plan for the future.
How Much Did Missouri Receive?
Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS) announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved $216,276,817.66 in Year 1 (through September 30, 2027) funding for the state’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), marking a major step forward in strengthening and stabilizing rural health care across the state. The funding launches full implementation of Transformation of Rural Community Health (ToRCH) Care – Missouri’s statewide transformation strategy.
To view the Year 1 budget narrative and funding breakdown, visit the MO RHTP Year 1 Fund Distribution.
- Funding Timeline
Funding Timeline
Funding is awarded in five annual budget periods. A key feature of the program is its flexibility; for each budget period, Missouri will have until the end of the following federal fiscal year (September 30) to spend the awarded funds.1 For example, funds awarded for the first budget period in early 2026 can be spent until September 30, 2027. This will require careful planning for complex, multi-year projects.
For each budget period, recipients will have until the end of the following fiscal year (September 30) to spend awarded funding.
- Recap: Budget Period will start on December 31, 2025. The Federal Fiscal Year begins October 1, but the subsequent Budget Period funding for RHTP will be distributed in November of each fiscal year.
- Key Limitations
Prohibited Uses
RHTP funds cannot be used for the following:
- New Construction: Building entirely new facilities is not allowed. However, funds can be used for renovations, alterations, or equipment upgrades in existing buildings.1
- Supplanting Funds: The money is intended for new or expanded activities. It cannot be used to replace or substitute existing state, local, or private funding for a project that is already underway or budgeted.1
- Duplicating Billable Services: Funds cannot be used to pay for clinical services that are already reimbursable through programs like Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance. The goal is to transform care delivery, not just pay for more of the same services.1
- Lobbying: Federal funds cannot be used for activities designed to influence the passage of legislation or other government actions.1
Program-Specific Funding Caps
CMS has also set limits on how much of a state's annual award can be spent on certain categories. These caps ensure a balanced investment across different aspects of healthcare transformation.
Spending Category
Maximum Allowed
Administrative Costs (State-level program management, oversight) 10% of the state's total annual award1 Capital Expenditures (Renovations, equipment upgrades) 20% of the state's total annual award1 Provider Payments (For direct healthcare services not otherwise billable) 15% of the state's total annual award1 Replacing an Existing Certified EHR System 5% of the state's total annual award1 "Rural Tech Catalyst Fund" Initiatives (Funding for health tech startups) The lesser of 10% of the annual award or $20 million1 - New Construction: Building entirely new facilities is not allowed. However, funds can be used for renovations, alterations, or equipment upgrades in existing buildings.1
- Calculating Missouri's Award
The Federal Scoring Formula
The amount of competitive "Workload Funding" Missouri receives each year is determined by a formula that combines two distinct scores. Understanding this formula is key to maximizing the state's award.
Score 1: The Rural Facility and Population Score (The "Need" Score)
This score is a snapshot of Missouri's existing rural healthcare needs and challenges. It is calculated by CMS only once at the beginning of the program and will not change over the five years1. It is based on several data-driven factors, including:
- The total number of people living in rural areas of the state.1
- The number and proportion of rural health facilities, such as Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Health Clinics.1
- The level of uncompensated care provided by hospitals in the state.1
- The percentage of the state's total population that lives in rural areas.1
- The state's total land area and the presence of very remote "frontier" areas.1
- The percentage of hospitals that receive Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments.1
Score 2: The Technical Score (The "Plan and Performance" Score)
This score measures the quality, strategic vision, and ultimately the performance of Missouri's transformation plan. This score is recalculated by CMS every year based on the state's progress.1 This annual rescoring is the program's core accountability engine. It turns the RHTP from a simple grant into a dynamic, performance-based partnership.
A typical grant provides funding based on an initial application, with reporting focused mainly on compliance. The RHTP, however, ties future funding directly to present performance. If Missouri successfully implements its planned initiatives and meets its policy commitments, its Technical Score—and its Workload Funding—can increase in subsequent years. Conversely, a failure to make progress or follow through on commitments can lead to a lower score and reduced funding. This structure creates a powerful incentive for the state and its partners to not only write a strong plan but to execute it effectively, requiring robust project management and transparent reporting from day one.
