The Bucksport Regional Health Center was among seven health care service recipients of federal funds. The center is seen here in December offering free veggies.
Seven organizations received a total of $9 million in federal funds to strengthen health care services at health centers across Maine.
The centers will use the funding to continue providing a range of primary health care services. The funding is intended to help improve access for Mainers who are economically or medically vulnerable as well as those who are geographically isolated, according to a news release.
The money was awarded through the Health Center Cluster Program, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration.
“Access to affordable care is key to protecting the health and well-being of Mainers, particularly amid the ongoing pandemic,” U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Angus King, I-Maine, said in a joint statement. “We welcome this funding to support health centers across the state as they work to serve members of the local community.”
The funding will be allocated as follows:
- York County Community Action Corp. will receive $1,412,498
