South Portland to get new $1.7M health center
The Portland Community Health Center is receiving a $1.7 million grant to open a new location in a South Portland neighborhood, where it aims to serve low-income individuals.
The Forecaster reported that the funds are being awarded as part of the Affordable Care Act’s New Access Point Community Health Center grant program. The program also recently gave $966,000 to the Katahdin Valley Health Care Center in Patten.
The South Portland Community Health Center is expected to open this December in the city’s Redbank-Brick Hill neighborhood, where federal officials said an estimated 17,000 low-income individuals currently live. The health center will offer primary and preventative health services, along with services for treatment of mental health, chronic disease and substance abuse.
