The two facilities are among 17 in the Garden State to be compensated for treating seniors and low-income patients in rural areas.

Warren County's two hospitals are among 17 in New Jersey to get a share of $36.5 million in federal grants.

The money is part of a program to help compensate physicians and other health care providers who treat seniors and low-income residents in rural areas, according to Rep. Leonard Lance's office.

St. Luke's Hospital in Phillipsburg will get $3.5 million, while Hackettstown Regional Medical Center will get $2.4 million, the congressman's office said in a news release.

Lance (R-7th Dist.) represents southern Warren County, all of Hunterdon and portions of Essex, Morris, Somerset and Union.

The Garden State's congressional delegation collaborated across party lines to get the grants, which the release said were initially denied to the state as it was not considered rural under Medicare's guidelines.
