Warner & Kaine Announce More Than $79 Million in Federal Funding To Support Virginia Health Centers
Press Release
Today U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) announced that Virginia will receive $79,907,625 in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to support 26 community health centers across the Commonwealth. The funding -- which was made possible through the American Rescue Plan -- will be awarded beginning in April by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
"For the past year, our community health centers have been on the front lines of providing care to our most vulnerable communities during the COVID-19 crisis," said the Senators. "Thanks to the congressional passage and eventual signing of the American Rescue Plan, we are now able to provide these critical federal dollars so that our community health centers can continue to provide lifesaving care to the folks who need it the most."
The funding for the 26 community health centers will be awarded as follows:
