Le Bonheur awarded grant to advance rural health access
Le Bonheur received $340,725 from Arkansas’ Rural Health Transformation Program’s THRIVE VIRTUAL funding category to support telehealth upgrades and new diagnostic equipment at Le Bonheur's Outpatient Center in Jonesboro, Ark. This grant will expand access to Level II fetal ultrasounds, EEG epileptology screenings and subspecialty consultations for families across eastern Arkansas. By equipping the Le Bonheur Outpatient Center in Jonesboro with advanced fetal echocardiography and EEG technology linked via telehealth to Le Bonheur’s nationally recognized specialists, the grant will help deliver better treatment outcomes while keeping care closer to the communities that need it most.
This project is supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $340,725 with 100 percent funded by CMS/HHS.

Prescribing specialized formula for Missouri patients
Effective July 1, 2026, the MO HealthNet Division (MHD) became the primary payer for medically necessary specialized infant formulas, including elemental, amino-acid based or metabolic formulas. Previously, these were handled by Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Providers should not send MO HealthNet participants to the WIC clinic for specialized formulas. Instead, send the formula prescription to a MO HealthNet enrolled Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Provider that dispenses the prescribed specialized formula.
