Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says USDA will make up to 500-million dollars available in grants to assist rural health care.
Vilsack made the announcement at a St. Peter, Minnesota hospital following a tour of drought-impacted fields. He says the Emergency Rural Health Care Grants will help rural hospitals and local communities increase access to COVID-19 vaccines and testing, medical supplies, telehealth, and food assistance, and support the construction or renovation of rural health care facilities.
