The Department of Health and Human Services is distributing $12 billion
allocated for a targeted distribution to hospitals in areas that have
been particularly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, including
$323,633,599 to hospitals in Pennsylvania.
President Trump is providing support to health care providers fighting
the COVID-19 pandemic through the $175 billion in relief funding to
hospitals and other healthcare providers on the front lines of the
coronavirus response. Funding is provided through the bipartisan CARES
Act and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act.
$12 billion is going to 395 hospitals that provided inpatient care for
100 or more COVID-19 patients through April 10, and will be used to
support healthcare-related expenses or lost revenue attributable to
COVID-19 and to ensure uninsured Americans can get testing and treatment
for COVID-19.
The distribution methodology takes into consideration the challenges
faced by facilities serving a significantly disproportionate number of
low-income patients. To view the list of hospitals and the amount each
received, please visit
