Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata is welcoming a health grant for maternal and child health services.

This discretionary grant of $86,862 is for American Samoa Department of Health from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a part of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department (HHS).
