WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), both members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced $2,211,192 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support three West Virginia healthcare providers. This funding from the Provider Relief Fund (PRF) was included in the CARES Act and other bipartisan COVID-19 pandemic relief packages.
“West Virginians rely on our local health care professionals for a variety of services, particularly in our rural communities. Our health care facilities stepped up in a big way during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their courageous service undoubtedly saved lives. That is why it is crucial that we provide the support they need to be prepared and operate efficiently and effectively,” Senator Capito said. “I will continue to advocate for our local health care facilities and professionals across the state of West Virginia.”
“Healthcare professionals across West Virginia continue to go above and beyond to care for their fellow West Virginians. I’m pleased these three providers are receiving support through the Provider Relief Fund to continue their critical work to keep our communities safe and healthy,” Senator Manchin said. “As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue advocating for resources to support our healthcare professionals as they care for West Virginians across the Mountain State.”
