Graves Secures Funding for Sullivan County Memorial Hospital

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06) announced that he secured $4,000,000 for the Sullivan County Memorial Hospital building project in the Fiscal Year 2026 Agriculture appropriations bill signed into law last month.

“Our rural hospitals are critical to North Missouri,” Rep. Sam Graves said. “Sullivan County Memorial Hospital plays a vital role in ensuring that there is quick access to life-saving care when folks need it most. This new hospital facility will go a long way towards ensuring there is access to quality care in the area for many years to come. I’m thrilled to secure this funding to help move this rural hospital project forward.”

Sullivan County Memorial Hospital CEO Martha Gragg said, “On behalf of the Board of Trustees and entire staff of Sullivan County Memorial Hospital, we are grateful and thank the leadership of Congressman Sam Graves and his staff in attaining this funding for our new critical access hospital and rural health clinic. This commitment marks a pivotal moment, helping to ensure the future of essential primary and specialty healthcare in Sullivan County and continue to be a key economic driver that has contributed to the county for the past 72 years.”

The Sullivan County Memorial Hospital project will construct a new 16-bed critical access hospital and rural health clinic to replace the current 72-year-old facility.
