Sebelius Announces $33 Million To Increase Number Of Health Care Workers
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced Friday that an additional $33 million in Recovery Act funds will be allocated toward expanding the number of health care professionals in the U.S.
“65 million Americans currently can’t see a primary care provider today due to a shortage in their home community,” Sebelius said during a conference call with reporters. “We can’t wait for Congress to act to start filling the critical need that we have in the health care workforce.” (0:21)
