Behavioral Health Services
The Parson administration has made workforce investment a priority. Few workforce sectors have as much opportunity for growth and long-term stability as health care. Behavioral health providers are in especially high demand as rural Missouri has an acute shortage. Nearly all of rural Missouri is a Health Professional Shortage Area for Mental Health, leading to patient boarding in hospital emergency departments and inpatient care.
Missouri hospitals stand ready to collaborate with state government and others to find ways to improve the health care delivery system for rural communities. Let's work together to #ReimagineRuralHealth.
