Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced $6,012,801 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) for twelve West Virginia rural healthcare providers. This funding comes from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Rural Fund, which Senator Manchin fought to include to support rural healthcare providers and suppliers. To date, West Virginia has received over $129 million from the ARPA Rural Fund payments.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for West Virginia’s healthcare professionals to be prepared for any emergency that tests our state. Our healthcare providers have gone above and beyond to care for their fellow West Virginians throughout the pandemic, and I’m pleased these twelve providers are receiving support from the American Rescue Plan to continue their critical work,” said Senator Manchin. “As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue advocating for funding to support our healthcare professionals as they care for our fellow West Virginians across the Mountain State.”
