Regents press Iowa lawmakers to fund child health programs
The Iowa Board of Regents urged legislative leaders to restore 775000 in funding for five University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics child health programs, warning the five programs could be finished without state support and noting federal funds have been cut since 1980. The board plans to mail an appeal and offer to return state funds if federal support continues.
