AUGUSTA — Gov. Janet Mills Administration recently announced that it will distribute $146 million in state and federal funding to Maine nursing facilities, residential care facilities, adult family care homes, and hospitals to support workforce recruitment and retention efforts as they grapple with workforce shortages driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This funding comes on top of the $25 million in Coronavirus Relief Funds that the Mills Administration has awarded to 14 hospitals and 96 long-term care facilities to help health care organizations recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2020, the Administration also awarded $5.1 million in grants to 53 health care organizations that serve residents with MaineCare to help sustain vital health services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
