FAH President and CEO Chip Kahn released the following statement on Congress’s end-of-year health package: 

“Congress’s health package hits the spot – it protects rural health care and assures seniors continued telehealth services while preventing cuts to hospitals serving the most vulnerable. Together, these provisions will sustain critical patient care at the right time, in the right setting.  

“We urge Congress to swiftly pass the health package and larger government funding bill, and we’ll continue to work with lawmakers to preserve 24/7 care.”
