**The USDA is making up to $500-million available in grants to help rural health care facilities, tribes and communities expand access to COVID-19 vaccines, health care services and nutrition assistance.
Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says through the Emergency Rural Health Care Grants, USDA will help rural hospitals and local communities increase access to vaccines and testing, medical supplies, telehealth, and food assistance, while helping improve the long-term viability of rural health care providers.
