U.S. SENATE –U.S. Senator Steve Daines today announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will be directing $13,193,537 to support 69 healthcare providers in Montana in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. This distribution includes the over $600,000 in funding secured for Shodair Children’s Hospital.
“This is about delivering much needed relief for Montana’s healthcare providers who are on the frontlines of this coronavirus pandemic,” Daines said. “I will continue working to ensure our hospitals and health providers have the resources they need to serve our communities as we work to safely reopen the economy.”
This funding is in addition to the $111,503,248 Daines announced for 1,469 health providers in Montana earlier this month.
