The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) on Aug. 8 announced more than $22 million in new health center grants to help people in need--many with no health insurance--obtain access to the comprehensive primary and preventive healthcare services that health centers provide.
The New Access Point grants will establish 42 new health center sites in 23 states, providing an estimated 160,000 Americans with health center services. The grants were awarded to healthcare organizations in areas where more primary medical care is needed. Health centers funded by HRSA represent more than 7,000 service delivery sites, including community health centers, migrant health centers, health care for the homeless, and public housing primary care centers.
