Malliotakis Helps Local Hospital Receive $12 Million in Funding Owed from FEMA

Our office recently helped a local hospital receive $12 million in federal funding owed to them from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for emergency protective measures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including additional medical equipment, staffing and increasing Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and inpatient/outpatient bed capacity. 

The hospital had been waiting over a year for the funds, and the delay had started impacting its ability to pay bills and meet payroll. Our office intervened on the hospital's behalf to help cut  bureaucratic red tape, and last week we were notified that the federal government released the funds to the State of New York so the hospital can be paid.
