In all, 14 health centers in the Congressman's district were awarded grant funding.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, announced Monday that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration has awarded $897,200 in federal funds to health centers across Huffman’s Congressional District — including four in Marin County — to expand on their achievements in providing high quality, comprehensive care.
The funding, awarded as part of Affordable Care Act’s Community Health Center Fund, will allow 14 health centers in California’s second congressional district to invest in current quality improvement systems and infrastructure and to improve primary care service delivery.
“Our health centers across California’s North Coast provide essential and excellent patient care and I’m grateful to HRSA for recognizing their achievements and awarding them this much-needed federal funding,” Huffman said. “This vital support will allow these health centers to continue providing high quality patient care, while also improving their services that my constituents and our entire community depend on.”
