  1. Vaccine distribution
  2. Medical supplies and equipment for medical surge
  3. Reimbursement for healthcare-related revenue loss during the pandemic
  4. Telehealth expansion
  5. Construction or renovation of healthcare facilities
  6. Staffing for testing or vaccine administration

Eligible applicants:

Such ties are necessary to ensure to the greatest extent possible that a facility under private control will carry out a public purpose and continue to primarily serve rural areas.
