The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service awarded a $2,265,000 Project Grant under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) to the Norton Sound Health Corporation (NSHC) in Nome, Alaska. The grant, awarded on June 14, 2024, will fund the construction, enlargement, extension, or other improvement of community facilities that deliver critical services to rural residents in the Bering Strait region. These facilities can encompass a wide range of infrastructure types, including fire protection, public safety, healthcare, education, utility services, and community centers. As the sole healthcare provider for the region, NSHC operates Norton Sound Regional Hospital and 16 federally qualified health clinics, providing comprehensive medical, dental, behavioral health, and community health services to predominantly Alaska Native populations across a 22,962 square-mile area. This federal grant funding will enable NSHC to enhance the healthcare infrastructure and services available to the rural communities it serves.
