I am also pleased that S. 1044 includes a provision requiring the Secretary to give special consideration to the unique needs of sparsely populated rural areas and to give priority to such areas in the awarding of health center planning and operating grants. These provisions will give greater weight in the awarding of grants to such factors as the severe shortages of primary care providers and geographic barriers inhibiting access to care that are characteristic of many areas in the Midwest and West.
