HHS Awards $81 Million to Improve Nation's Health Care Facilities

HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson announced the award of 80 grants totaling $80.9 million for the construction and improvement of health care facilities in 31 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Funded by the “Health Care and Other Facilities” program administered by HHS’s Health Resources and Services Administration, the grants provide construction and renovation assistance to health care facilities across the Nation.  A variety of projects are being funded, from an inpatient hospice in Alabama to the purchase of an ultrasound machine for a pediatric emergency room in Illinois.  Other projects include a geriatric assessment center, a two-story community health and education center, a facility for children and adults with severe developmental disabilities, and the  remodeling of five cancer research laboratories.

A list of the new grantees is attached.
