Four Rivers Behavioral Health Gets CARES Funding

Four Rivers Behavioral Health in Paducah was awarded $4,831 to expand its telehealth services.

The federal funding, distributed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), was made available by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

In addition to these federal funds, the CARES Act has had an $11 billion impact in Kentucky so far.

This legislation has delivered $3.6 billion in relief to address urgent housing, transportation, healthcare, education and economic development priorities. 

The CARES act has also created the Paycheck Protection Program, which is helping more than 46,000 Kentucky small businesses access approximately $5.2 billion in loans to keep their lights on and employees on payroll. Kentucky families have received more than $3.2 billion in Economic Impact Payments from the U.S. Treasury.
