Gov. Kotek announces $97 million for 136 rural health projects
Summary
Governor Kotek announced a $97,000,000 award to support 136 rural health projects across Oregon, saying the grants will expand mobile services, bolster maternal and behavioral health care, and strengthen local hospitals and tribal health programs.
In a recorded statement (date not specified), Governor Kotek announced that Oregon will award $97,000,000 to support 136 new rural health projects across the state. "That's why we're awarding $97,000,000 to support 136 new rural health projects across the state," Governor Kotek said.
Kotek said the projects will expand mobile health services, strengthen maternal and behavioral health care, support older adults, help rural communities hire more health care workers and bolster local hospitals, clinics, tribal health programs and public health departments. She said the funds were made available by Congress but "pale in comparison to the roughly $15,000,000,000 Oregon stands to lose because of President Trump's cuts to health care, food assistance, and other essential programs." The governor did not specify a timeline for disbursement or list individual award recipients in the statement.
