U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Friday that LifeSkills Inc. in Bowling Green received nearly $492,000 to expand telehealth services throughout the region.
McConnell’s office reports the funding came from the CARES Act and comes after a recent visit to Bowling Green to thank healthcare workers on the frontlines of COVID-19.
LifeSkills Inc. will use the funding for technology, software, and network upgrades to help provide assessments, therapy, medication management, and other behavioral services to patients across the region.
LifeSkills President/CEO Joe Dean Beavers says the funding will help equip over 400 clinics across rural south-central and western Kentucky with mobile, telehealth equipment.
The funding will help residents in Trigg, Christian, Caldwell, Lyon, Todd, and Hopkins counties.
