The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced it is sending $1.63 million in funding to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital and Little Rivers Healthcare in an effort to support rural health care providers, per NBC5.
The funding, which totals $1,637,600, was given via Emergency Rural Health Care Grants, the agency said.
The USDA previously awarded Springfield Hospital a $1 million grant last month.
More than 58,000 people are expected to benefit from the funding for the two institutions, the USDA said.
