Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan (MA-03), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Health Subcommittee, announced $567,400 in federal teaching health center funding for the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center. This award comes from the Department of Health and Human Services through the Affordable Care Act Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program, also known as the T91 program.

"As the first-in-the-nation accredited teaching health center, the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center has continued to provide critical health services to its patients while also training new generations of physicians who uniquely understand the health care needs of traditionally underserved communities. This federal funding is critical to the facility's ongoing efforts, which have proven so invaluable already. As one of GLFHC's biggest fans, I will continue to be an advocate for additional teaching health center funding and for all of our community health facilities," said Congresswoman Trahan.
