Today, the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), through the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), is announcing approximately $3 billion in funding to hospitals
serving a large percentage of vulnerable populations on thin margins and
approximately $1 billion to specialty rural hospitals, urban hospitals with
certain rural Medicare designations, and hospitals in small metropolitan
areas.
“We’ve been distributing the Provider
Relief Funds as quickly as possible to those providers who have been
hardest hit by the pandemic,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar. “President
Trump is supporting hospitals in continuing to provide COVID-19 care and
returning to everyday procedures, especially hospitals that serve
vulnerable and minority populations. Close work with stakeholders informed
how we targeted this new round of funds to hard-hit safety-net and rural
providers.”
