This federal Project Grant award, provided through the Congressional Directives program (CFDA 93.493) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will fund the renovation of the existing operating rooms at Stephens County Hospital (SCH) in northeast Georgia. The $1,270,000 award granted on September 30, 2024 will enable SCH, a 96-bed hospital serving multiple rural counties, to upgrade its facilities as part of its initiative to pursue Level 4 trauma designation. This investment aims to improve access to timely trauma care for underserved populations in this region, which currently lacks nearby trauma centers. The grant supports SCH's efforts to enhance healthcare infrastructure and emergency medical services in this medically underserved area of the state.
