This bill funds nearly 500 projects for over two hundred members. These designated funds will be deeply impactful for communities across the country.\u201d\n\nOut of the $32 million secured for Alabama hospitals and health centers, $22.1 million will be directed to rural hospitals in Alabama\u2019s Fourth District.\n\n\u201cI have long believed that rural communities should have the same access to top-notch healthcare centers and hospitals as larger cities, and these investments are a real step toward that goal. Community-based care is a first step in having better long-term health outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe FY27 Labor-HHS bill also includes $100 million for the Rural Hospital Provider Assistance Program to support rural hospitals at the low end of the wage index and ensure sustainable access to quality health care providers for these rural communities.\n\n\u201cThis initiative reflects a deliberate commitment to ensuring our rural hospitals have the resources they need to survive and serve their communities. Through this program, eligible hospitals will receive direct financial assistance to help maintain and strengthen essential healthcare services.\u201d\n\nThe FY27 Labor-HHS Appropriations Act now moves to the House Floor for consideration.", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:11:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://aderholt.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-robert-aderholt-secures-35-million-alabama-hospitals"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8747319225221872, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
