Aid for Health Care Coming to Rural America

Aid for Health Care Coming to Rural America

The Biden Administration is starting to identify the programs that will be receiving aid because of the President’s American Rescue Plan that was passed by Congress last year. There is good news for rural America on a number of fronts, including improvement in health care.

The Agriculture Department has announced that it has awarded $43 million in grants to 93 rural health care providers and community groups in 22 states.

This is important because the Covid-19 pandemic exposed long-standing problems with health care infrastructure in remote parts of the country and pushed many rural health providers to the brink.
