RHC Application Deadline Extended Until June 1

The FCC extended the Rural Health Care program application filing deadline for FY 2021 until June 1, a Wireline Bureau order said Friday. "Hospitals and health clinics have been overwhelmed since the coronavirus,” said John Windhausen, executive director of the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition, in a statement. Extending the filing deadline allows these institutions to “focus their attention and energy on what matters most: keeping Americans healthy throughout this crisis.”
