Aiming to preserve access to healthcare in rural communities, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has awarded a $4.5 million grant to four hospitals deemed critical to these populations.
Governor Greg Abbott (R.) announced that the four are eligible to receive up to $1.1 million under the Texas Rural Emergency Hospitals Financial Stabilization Grant, the funds of which will be distributed over two years to each for repairs, paying off debts, purchasing or renting equipment, and operational expenses.
The four providers include Crosbyton Clinic Hospital, Anson General Hospital, Falls Community Hospital and Clinic in Marlin, and St. Marks Medical Center in La Grange. For the first year, they will receive $750,000, followed by $375,000 for the second.
