Abstract
"Communities throughout the U.S. face challenges related to sustaining a health care workforce and providing health care. These concerns are especially relevant to Missouri and its rural areas due to the state’s poor health outcomes, workforce shortages and lack of health care facility availability. The health care industry contributes to community sustainability and economic growth, and it serves as a primary employer in many communities. As the largest employment sector in the state, Missouri’s health care and social assistance sector employed 15% of working Missourians in 2020. Government, including public schools, ranked as the next largest sector and employed just less than 15% of working Missourians.1 This publication highlights rural-urban differences in Missouri’s health outcomes, health care workforce and availability of care. It provides context that community stakeholders and health care industry professionals can use to sustain and grow Missouri’s health care sector and improve health outcomes in rural and urban Missouri."--First page.
