WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven, a member of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s (HHS) Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) has awarded $172,000 to the Center for Rural Health at the University of North Dakota (UND). The Center for Rural Health is designated as North Dakota’s State Office of Rural Health and helps link rural communities to state and federal resources to develop long term solutions to rural health problems.
