U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) applauded the Federal Communications Commission for awarding $1,757,091 in grant funding through the Wireline Competition Bureau to four organizations in Nevada. The funds will support the organizations' telehealth capabilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"As the Silver State continues to maintain social distancing practices, telehealth is more important than ever to ensuring we stem the spread of the virus. This funding will help health care organizations continue providing their communities with quality care while keeping both patients and providers safe. I will continue working to ensure Nevada's health care providers have every tool at their disposal to address the COVID-19 pandemic."
