ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Skilled nursing centers will receive nearly $44 million in additional state funding.
The Georgia Health Care Association CEO Tony Marshall told WALB News 10 the funding is “definitely needed.”

Marshall said the centers’ vulnerable populations, combined with an existing need for more funding before the pandemic, was a perfect storm.
“The Medicaid program has historically paid less than what it costs to provide care for residents in our centers. So, when the pandemic hit during this period and costs went up significantly, those deficits were exacerbated,” Marshall said.
