The U.S. Department of Health and Services has announced that it will award a total of $732,842 in federal funding to three Maine health centers.
Of this amount, Bucksport Regional Health Center will receive $324,131; Maine Migrant Programs Inc. in Augusta will receive $200,460; and St. Croix Regional Family Health Center in Princeton will receive $208,251.
“People across Maine rely on rural health care providers for essential services to support their health and well-being,” said U.S. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, in a statement. “These federal grants offer critical support for these facilities and help ensure access to high-quality care for the communities they serve.”
The grants will come via the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency within HHS tasked with improving access to health care.
