WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will announce Monday that the Biden administration is investing $1.5 billion from the coronavirus aid package to address the health care worker shortage in underserved communities.
The funding will go to the National Health Service Corps, Nurse Corps and Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery programs, all federal programs that offer scholarship and loan repayments for health care students and workers if they pledge to work in underserved and high-risk communities.
The money, which includes funds from the American Rescue Plan and other sources, will support more than 22,700 providers.
The COVID-19 pandemic has both highlighted and exacerbated health care disparities for minority and underserved communities.

Commie-la ‘fweedumb’ stwikes again. A local mental health care facility is closing it’s doors due to staffing shortages. Can’t find folks to work there. Guess the “patients” will just be turned loose on the street to join the growing population of folks we already have on our streets.
