Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
Standing with officials from Putnam County’s only hospital, Putnam Hospital in Carmel, New York, today U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer urged the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to immediately deliver emergency funding to provide critical support to the front line doctors, nurses, staff, and communities surrounding the Putnam Hospital. For months the hospital has been overlooked by HHS in its arbitrary and unfair distribution of additional emergency relief funding from the $175 billion Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (Provider Relief Fund) that Senator Schumer championed in his negotiations of the CARES Act.
