Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Uifa'atali Amata is highlighting a federal funding notice of $114,676 from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), directed to maternal and child health services.

"Thank you once again to Dr. Anaise Uso for her dedicated work on this and other grants to provide important care to the women and young children of American Samoa, and ongoing efforts to provide quality early care," said Congresswoman Aumua Amata. "Congratulations to Health Director Motusa Tuileama Nua, and thank you to all our health professionals for your daily work. Thank you to HHS Secretary Secretary Xavier Becerra and HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson for this support."
