STIMULUS PACKAGE RELEASES NEW FQHC DOLLARS
On March 2, 2009, President Barack Obama announced the release of $155 million in The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“the stimulus package”) grant funds to support 126 Community Health Centers (CHC) across the country. It is estimated that these grants alone will help provide health services to 750,000 Americans and create 5,500 jobs. The grants will provide essential comprehensive preventive and primary care services at CHCs that are the lifeline for the underinsured and uninsured. CHCI was successful on 4 for 4 applications that we prepared and submitted on behalf of our clients that were part of the stimulus package awardees based on a high score. Over the course of the last 6 years, CHCI has been successful on 63% of all category Community Health Center applications submitted to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It makes sound business sense to use our firm to help your organization garner federal designations and federal dollars.
