Ira Davenport gets $5M in federal aid

BATH--Congressman Tom Reed (R-Corning) announced three area hospitals on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19 will receive millions in federal aid from Health and Human Services' Provider Relief Fund. The funds, which target safety-net hospitals that treat patients regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay, were allocated in the CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act.
These payments total over $20 million in relief. The funding distribution is outlined below:
• Ira Davenport Memorial Hospital: $5,000,000
• Brooks-TLC Hospital System: $5,000,000
• UPMC Chautauqua: $10,076,498
"We care about supporting our hospitals and health providers because their work has never been more essential to the health and safety of our communities," said Reed. "We will continue to work with local providers and HHS to ensure much-needed relief flows to our region and access to critical health care services is maintained."
