Lincoln, Pryor, Berry Announce Funds for Boston Mountain Rural Health Center
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. –  U.S. Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor and Representative Marion Berry (AR-01) announced today that Boston Mountain Rural Health Center, Inc., will receive a $43,000 Rural Development grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The funds will be used to purchase medical equipment.
 
“These funds will help ensure that patients at Boston Mountain Rural Health Center 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.”
 
“It’s critical the medical team at Boston Mountain has the equipment and resources it needs to provide quality health care to the community. These federal funds are a smart investment for the well-being of residents in Northern Arkansas,” said Pryor.
 
“In order to provide the best health care available, providers must have the most up-to-date tools and resources available,” said Berry.  “These funds will help the doctors at Boston Mountain Rural Health Center provide better care for their patients and I commend them for seeking this funding.”
 
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.
