Health care providers nationally are receiving an initial payment of $30 billion for public health and social services emergency funds which were included in the CARES Act signed into law March 27th. Hospitals and other health care providers are working around the clock to diagnose and treat those infected with and sickened by COVID-19. Every day, they are saving lives. The public health crisis requires them to forgo non-essential procedures and treatments, which comes at a steep cost. This relief will help keep the health care system functioning and help keep medical staff paid during unprecedented demand, said McAdams. The CARES Act appropriated $140 billion to support the U.S. health system. Over 70 percent--$100 billionis for a new program to give grants to hospitals, non-profit entities and Medicare and Medicaid enrolled suppliers to cover unreimbursed health care expenses or lost revenues resulting from the COVID-19 emergency. McAdams said he's monitoring concerns expressed from some Utah hospitals about potential funding gaps and will be compiling recommendations for improvements to the relief package going forward. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
