Yesterday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a $10 billion carve-out within the $100 billion Provider Relief Fund for rural hospitals and health clinics. NRHA is grateful to rural health leaders within the Administration, such as HHS Secretary Alex Azar and HHS Deputy Secretary Eric Hargan, and Congressional rural champions for recognizing the needs of rural health care.
Senators Hyde-Smith (R-MI) and Manchin (D-WV) led a letter in the Senate, signed by 19 senators, and Representatives Cleaver (D-MO), Latta (R-OH), Cox (D-CA), and Bergman (R-MI) led the companion letter in the House of Representatives, which garnered 65 signatures.
