Missouri Health Care: Federal Funding for Mental Health and Substance Use Services

Enhancing Missouri Health Care

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has announced a significant investment in Missouri health care. Nearly $6 million in federal funding will be directed towards expanding critical mental health and substance use disorder services across the region.

Investment Details

This funding is part of a broader initiative, with $240 million allocated nationally to benefit over 400 community health centers. These health centers are pivotal in delivering essential health care services to vulnerable populations, improving access to behavioral health care for individuals facing mental health and substance use challenges.

Focusing on Youth Mental Health

  • Youth mental health is a primary focus, addressing the escalating rates of mental illness among the young population.
  • Prioritizing treatment plans that offer rehabilitation and recovery support.

This effort underscores the Biden-Harris administration's commitment to strengthening the healthcare infrastructure in Missouri and ensuring that patients receive the treatment and support they need.
