Press Releases

Today, Congressman Van Drew announced that the Department of Health and Human Services(HHS) released their second round of Provider Relief Fund COVID-19 High-Impact Payments. Included on this second round of funding were several local hospitals: Ocean Medical Center, Cape Regional Health System, Southern Ocean Medical Center, Salem Medical Center, Shore Medical Center, and Inspira Health Network. Congressman Van Drew has been working with HHS for months to ensure that the local hospitals that missed funding in the first disbursement were not overlooked in the recent disbursements.

“Too often South Jersey is overlooked, and I am pleased to announce that our local hospitals did not fall through the cracks of bureaucracy,” said Congressman Van Drew. “Our local hospitals are the frontline of the fight against Coronavirus and I am proud to have worked with Deputy Secretary Eric Hargan and the administration to ensure our South Jersey hospitals have more of the resources they need. I promised them that.”
