NVE among those funded for health care

The Native Village of Eyak is among 26 Alaska health care providers awarded a total of several million dollars in March by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in emergency funds to combat the spread of COVID-19.

Alaska’s congressional delegation applauded the grants, saying they would go a long way toward ensuring that everyone in Alaska, from urban areas to rural villages, has access to the health care necessary to turn the tide in this health crisis.

“Our state’s health care providers continue to display remarkable bravery and heroism amid much uncertainty and our state is deeply grateful,” Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, and Rep. Don Young, all R-Alaska, said in a joint statement on Thursday, March 26.

NVE’s grant came to a total of $52,022.
