Greater Portland Health is to receive $727,846 in federal funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Angus King, I-Maine, announced on Tuesday.
The Department’s Health Resources and Services Administration will issue the funds in the form of two grants:
Greater Portland Health, formerly known as the Portland Community Health Center, serves more than 9,000 patients from four offices in Portland and one in South Portland.

Besides primary care, it offers behavioral and oral care.
“Community health centers, like Greater Portland Health, help Mainers across our state receive the high quality care they deserve,” Collins and King said in a joint statement. “These federal grants offer critical support for people in the Greater Portland area, and we applaud HHS for recognizing Greater Portland Health’s commitment to the surrounding community.”
