Securing Over $15 Million for Montana Nursing Homes During the Coronavirus
Pandemic
What's
New:
Last week, I announced
that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will be directing
$15,615,000 to 60 Montana nursing facilities amid the coronavirus
pandemic.

Why It
Matters:
This critical funding will support Montana
nursing homes and care providers as they work to keep our seniors safe and
healthy during the ongoing coronavirus
pandemic.
Nursing homes will be able to use the funding to
address critical needs such as labor, scaling up their testing
capacity, acquiring personal protective equipment and a range of other
expenses related to combatting the COVID-19 outbreak.
What's Next:
I’m glad
to have fought to secure this funding to support Montana’s most
vulnerable and I will continue working to ensure we protect our
seniors and those who care for them during this crisis.
