Under the distribution plan, each certified rural health clinic site will receive $100,000, HHS said.
The rural health clinics can use the funding to maintain and expand access to COVID-19 testing and broaden efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus.
“The Biden-Harris Administration recognizes rural health clinics as critical partners in closing health equity gaps, especially related to COVID-19,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “Today’s investments will help rural health clinics keep and expand COVID-19 testing and mitigation services for people in rural parts of the country, including those who live in our nation’s underserved communities.”
