WHITE PLAINS – Hudson River Healthcare, Inc., will receive $753,367 in COVID-19 relief funding for telehealth services and the expansion of its frontline coronavirus testing and treatment programs. This funding, awarded by the Federal Communications Commission, also ensures the high volume of low-income, uninsured, or under
-insured patients served by the agency have access to high-quality care.
The funding comes from the federal CARES Act adopted late last month to provide much-needed funding to localities and organizations in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“New York continues to see the devasting impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, and health care providers across the state are bravely stepping up to meet this challenge head-on,” said Congresswoman Nita Lowey (Dm NY-17). “Providers like Hudson River Healthcare are our first line of defense in keeping our communities safe and stopping the spread of COVID-19. With this funding, Hudson River Healthcare will have the ability to expand its telehealth efforts to practice social distancing while providing patients with high-quality care. I will continue fighting in Congress to bring federal support home to providers across the Lower Hudson Valley.”
