Hospital beds and other equipment can be purchased with grants.
There are several programs available that sponsor grants for hospitals and other healthcare facilities to purchase equipment necessary for their healthcare operations. Funds are also used for facility renovation and alteration projects to make room for the equipment. Recipients of these equipment grants are not required to repay them.
Cancer Control
The Department of Health and Human Services sponsors the Cancer Control program, which provides grants for conducting research aimed at reducing cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality. Grants are used to purchase equipment and supplies, pay salaries and cover consultation and travel expenses. Funds are also used to cover facility renovation and alteration projects. Hospitals, colleges and universities, nonprofit research institutes and for-profit businesses are eligible to apply for these grants.

Community Facilities Grant Program
Hospital equipment can be purchased with funds through the Community Facilities Grant Program sponsored by the Department of Agriculture, or USDA. Grants from this program are also used to construct, renovate and improve facilities that are used for healthcare, public safety, and community and public services. Communities with fewer than 20,000 residents are able to receive grant funds. Eligible applicants include municipalities, towns, districts and tribal government agencies as well as nonprofit organizations. These grants are formula-based, with communities having the lowest population and income levels receiving higher financial consideration.
