Support for the newly opened Mellar Family Health Center, expanding public health capacity and emergency response services. $825,000 to support efforts to reopen Keokuk Hospital, ensuring long-term access to inpatient care in the region. These projects were made possible through Community Project Funding and mark one of the most significant healthcare infrastructure investments in Lee County in decades. "We’re not just investing in buildings, we’re investing in people, in response times, and in the future of healthcare for Southeast Iowa," Miller-Meeks added. “This is what it means to deliver for rural Iowa.” ## | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
