About the Center
We strengthen the health and economic vitality of rural communities and their care providers through innovation and collaboration.
Our mission
We are a national platform with a mission to build a health and care system that works for rural residents and communities, and a vital resource for those leveraging State Rural Health Transformation Programs (RHTP).
Why St. Louis
St. Louis has a long-standing track record in health and ag-tech innovation. For the past 25 years, BioSTL, our parent organization, has built on the region's scientific strength as well as our geographic proximity and deep ties with America's rural heartland.
Current projects
We are currently contracted by the Missouri and Kansas RHTPs and in negotiations with 10 other states. In addition, we have growing partnerships with global hubs and their rural programs.
What members get
National case studies and emerging archetypes of implementation models are shared with members, so hospitals, clinics and innovators can learn from what is working in other states.
