Four healthcare providers that serve Quay County received grants from the state’s Rural Health Care Delivery Fund.
The awardees that serve the region include:
— Presbyterian Medical Services for community heath workers serving Quay, Torrance, Otero, Luna, Cibola and McKinley counties;
— Mental Health Resource Inc. for behavioral health serving Quay, Harding, De Baca, Roosevelt and Curry counties;
— Hospital Services Corp. and American Medical Response for emergency behavioral health transportation in 28 rural counties;
— MECA, LLC for autism services in 28 rural counties.
The governor’s office announced the final recipients from the rural fund created earlier this year. Funding totaled $80 million.
“The Rural Health Care Delivery Fund is making sure that no matter what part of New Mexico you call home, you have access to high quality and affordable health care,” Gov. Lujan Grisham stated in a news release.
The announcement comes after the initial distribution of $18 million to 11 rural healthcare organizations.
Each selected organization is slated to receive funds aimed at expanding existing and creating new health care services.
