Reed visits Brooks, assists in securing payroll funds

Mary LaRowe, Brooks-TLC Hospital System chief executive officer, stands with U.S. Rep. Tom Reed at Brooks.

U.S. Rep. Tom Reed was in Dunkirk to drop by Brooks Memorial Hospital. During the visit, he discussed assisting Brooks-TLC with a $4.8 million Paycheck Protection Program advance.

“(This) will allow the hospital to keep staff on the payroll and continue servicing our community,” Reed said this week. “My deepest gratitude and thanks go out to all the staff and front-line medical workers.”

Reed, R-District 23, also visited a WellNow clinic in Dunkirk that is offering antibody testing. These tests are critical to keeping us informed and giving public health officials a clearer picture of the situation on the ground. Reed said his team will continue to coordinate with the private and public sectors to pursue strategies that reinforce our region’s testing infrastructure.

“Standing together, we can push our region through this crisis and position ourselves to begin reopening ASAP,” he said.
