The verified commitment was to continue fighting for more rural health resources for Iowa, strengthen the rural health workforce, and improve access closer to home. Verified evidence shows Miller-Meeks joined the Iowa delegation in urging CMS to support Iowa's Healthy Hometowns Rural Health Transformation Program request, and CMS later announced more than $209 million for rural Iowa health delivery, including workforce development, expanded clinical and maternal services, EMS/mobile health, and infrastructure modernization. This documents attributable action plus a concrete resource outcome, but the broader access promise is not fully proven as achieved statewide, so partial credit is appropriate.
