More than 20 rural Oregon hospitals will receive millions from state and feds for maternal health

Nearly two dozen rural Oregon hospitals are set to receive over $37 million to bolster their maternity care services, addressing a critical gap following recent Medicaid funding reductions. This combined state and federal investment aims to stabilize and enhance maternal health care in underserved areas. The funding not only helps maintain essential services but also underscores a broader effort to tackle health disparities in rural communities, potentially improving maternal outcomes and overall community health.
