Senator John Thune announced today that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved a $72,145 loan for the Eureka Community Benevolent Hospital Association. Rural Development funds will be used in conjunction with other financing, including a Rural Development Economic Initiative Grant for the purchase of x-ray equipment.

“The USDA is acting to help finance x-ray equipment to better serve the people of McPherson County,” Thune said.
