WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor and Representative Marion Berry (AR-01) announced today that Corning Area Health Care, Inc., will receive a $18,000 Rural Development grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The center will also receive a loan of $35,000. The funds will be used to install an emergency generator.
“These funds will help ensure that patients at Corning Area Health Care receive the best health care possible,” said Lincoln. “Staff members of the facility will now have better access to the resources and equipment they need to provide high-quality, effective care. Their patients deserve no less.”
“I appreciate Corning Area Health Care’s commitment to quality health care. These funds for a new generator will enable them to serve the community to its full potential even during an emergency,” said Pryor.
“An emergency generator is an essential tool for all hospitals,” said Berry. “These funds will ensure the patients in Corning will receive access to better emergency health care. I commend the staff for seeking these federal dollars, which will greatly benefit the facility.”
USDA Rural Development grants support public facilities and services, promote economic development, and offer technical assistance to help address the diverse and unique needs of rural communities.
