Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) joined a bipartisan, bicameral letter to Secretary Alex Azar of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) urging him to prioritize and take decisive action to assist rural hospitals responding to the Coronavirus. Under the CARES Act, which was signed into law on March 27th, HHS has been given additional funding to provide financial relief to hospitals, as well as flexibility to deliver assistance where needed most. Congressman Harris made the following statement: "As a physician, I understand the needs of rural hospitals and the challenges facing health care providers in rural America. Providing our local communities with access to quality medical care is a priority for me in Congress, and I am proud to have joined my colleagues in urging the Administration to prioritize the needs of rural hospitals. We must provide assistance to rural hospitals that are struggling financially or running low on supplies. America cannot afford to lose any medical facility as we face this war against the Wuhan virus." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:56:21Z |
