HHS details emergency fund distribution to rural, hotspot hospitals
The Department of Health and Human Services last week distributed $22 billion from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund to hospitals with high numbers of COVID-19 admissions, as well as rural hospitals and clinics.
Specifically, $12 billion was allocated to hospitals with at least 100 COVID-19 inpatient admissions through April 10, 2020. Another $10 billion went to all critical access hospitals, in addition to general acute-care hospitals, rural health clinics and community health centers located in rural areas.
