- Today, HHS, through HRSA, awarded more than $1.3 billion to 1,387 health centers as part of a historic U.S. response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. HRSA-funded health centers may use the awards to help communities across the country detect coronavirus; prevent, diagnose, and treat COVID-19; and maintain or increase health capacity and staffing levels to address this public health emergency.
The funding supports health centers’ ability to detect, prevent, diagnose, and treat COVID-19. The awards will also help maintain or increase health center capacity and staff.
