Nursing Homes Added to Rural Health Care Program

The FCC formally added Nursing Homes to its $400 million program which provides broadband subsidies to rural health care providers. While this comes as good news for nursing homes, this brings more competition for Critical Access Hospitals as the $400 million dollars cap has already been easily reached each year. This news comes as the Trump administration formally announces its commitment to strengthening rural broadband.
