The Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Wednesday that two health care providers in the Panhandle will receive a combined $1.14 million in grants from a program funded through the American Rescue Plan.
The grants are meant to help rural hospitals and health care providers implement telehealth practices and nutrition assistance programs, among other medical goals.
Florida’s recipients are the city of Marianna, for the Marianna Nursing Home, and Madison County Hospital.
Marianna is getting more than $141,000 to build a new nurse call station in the nursing home, and the hospital is getting $1 million to improve hospital infrastructure.
