Twenty-eight non-profit organizations have been awarded more than $267 million as part of HHS’ Regional Extension Center (REC) program. The group joins 32 other organizations which have already received funding. More than $375 million had been awarded earlier to RECs under this program. All REC awardees have an opportunity to apply for two-year expansion supplemental awards. The supplemental awards — $25 million is available in total — look to ensure that health IT support services are available to over 2,000 of the nation’s critical access hospitals and rural hospitals, both defined as having 50 beds or less.
