Blackford County says it received roughly $3 million in grants; telemedicine program to begin
Summary
County staff reported approximately $3 million in grant awards and said a telemedicine program received funding and will begin instruction soon; staff said further project updates should be available from project leads.
County staff reported that the county received roughly $3,000,000 in grants and that the county was among a small number of counties awarded funding for a telemedicine program. Staff said instruction for the telemedicine program will begin and that a project update is expected from project leads later in the week.
Why it matters: Grant awards can fund county services and programs; telemedicine funding may expand access to health care services for county residents.
Staff said the county is one of a few counties to receive telemedicine funding and that instruction for that program is scheduled to begin; staff said they expected an update from project staff on Friday and suggested an individual named Tom might provide additional information. Staff described the grants in aggregate as “roughly $3,000,000” but did not provide a detailed breakdown of award sources or specific project allocations in the provided transcript excerpt.
Staff asked that project leads provide further updates at upcoming meetings so the county can incorporate grant amounts and program timelines into budgeting and implementation plans.
