Governor Ivey has awarded an additional $80 million in COVID-19 recovery funds to provide reimbursements for Alabama hospitals and nursing homes. The funding for the award comes from the state’s portion of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars appropriated by the legislature in January. According to the governor’s office, the funds will support two grant programs of up to $40 million each and administered by the Alabama Hospital Association and the Alabama Nursing Home Association. Dr. Don Williamson, president and CEO of the Alabama Hospital Association, applauded Ivey and the legislature for their efforts to provide financial support for hospitals.
