Press Release

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health and Health Care Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-5) today announced a $3,746,906 Department of Health and Human Services Grant for Santa Rosa Community Health Centers (SRCHC). The funds will help SRCHC provide effective, responsive, culturally-appropriate solutions to community health needs for the patients it serves.

"The work done by Santa Rosa Community Health Centers is second to none," said Thompson. "They help make sure that no one in our community goes without the health care they need just because they don't have the means to pay. I am proud to support these grants which allow them to continue their important service."

Naomi Fuchs, Chief Executive Officer, says, "We are grateful for the federal funding that ensures our doors are open to everyone in need, regardless of their ability to pay. SRCHC is a critical resource for over 45,000 people struggling with barriers to health posed by poverty, lack of insurance, transportation, culture, education, and homelessness. Without this ongoing support from the federal government, we simply could not continue to address the prevalent health disparities in our community."
