The question

How will Missouri’s cost-sharing child-care program affect retention in the rural health workforce?

The read

The award makes child-care costs a shared responsibility of the state, employers or community organizations, and families. Its test is whether that arrangement helps rural health employers keep workers while easing families’ costs.

What happens next

Rural health providers can join a virtual webinar on Thursday, October 29 at 2 PM CST to learn about the program and ask questions.

What could change this read

This read would change with information on participating employers and families’ childcare costs.
