A $750,000 federal grant will help Adena Health System buy and equip two ambulances to transport patients in southern Ohio. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development awarded the Community Facilities grant to expand Adena Health's emergency medical services transportation capabilities, according to a community announcement. The money will go toward two ambulances and the medical equipment, communication systems and safety features needed for inter-facility transfers, patient discharges and urgent transportation. The announcement said the additional vehicles will improve access to health care for rural residents and seniors with limited transportation options. USDA Rural Development Ohio State Director Charles Tassell presented the grant in Chillicothe with Rep. Dave Taylor of Ohio's 2nd Congressional District and Brynn Stepp from Sen. Jon Husted's office. “Too many rural Americans lack access to emergency medical services,” Tassell said. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Rural Development is closing this gap. We’re proud to help connect the people of Southern Ohio with Adena Health’s lifesaving work.” USDA Rural Development's Community Facilities programs provide direct loans, loan guarantees and grants for essential public services and facilities in rural communities.

Between the proposed data center in Chillicothe and the data center being built in Pike County it can feel like all anyone is talking about is data centers. That doesn't even begin to include all the conversations about the other data centers being built and either supported or protested by communities around the country.

Based on what project leaders from both sites have said, the centers will vastly vary in size, energy and water usage and more.
