More than 36 percent of Missourians live in rural areas, but only 9 percent of the state’s physicians practice there. Consequently, almost all rural counties are classified as Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) for primary and mental health care. Specialty health care such as cardiology and oncology is even more difficult to access in rural Missouri.
