By |

This story is part of a nationwide collaboration of Institute for Nonprofit News members examining the affect COVID-19 is having on rural health care. IowaWatch reporting in this project was made possible by support from the Solutions Journalism Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rigorous and compelling reporting about responses to social problems.

Relief payments distributed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration have gone to the following Iowa hospitals. The funds come via two 2020 laws — the CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act — during the COVID-19 pandemic. These data are of May 13, 2020, and can change because of updates. Healthcare providers have 45 days from the day they receive each of the fund distributions to attest to receiving payment and agree to terms and conditions, Susan Horras, vice president for finance policy at the Iowa Hospital Association, wrote in an email to IowaWatch.
