Delaware Health Centers Receive Grants To Help State Residents Find Affordable Insurance

U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, Sen. Chris Coons and Rep. John Carney (all D-Del.) have announced grant awards from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to Delaware’s federally qualified health centers to help enroll Delawareans in health insurance coverage.

La Red Health Center, Henrietta Johnson Medical Center and Westside Family Healthcare received $177,872 to help with their enrollment efforts in the communities they serve in Delaware’s three counties. With these awards, health centers will be able to meet immediate needs, including expanding the hours of existing outreach and enrollment assistance workers, and hiring new or temporary outreach and enrollment assistance workers.

“This funding will help our health centers continue to do the good work they are already doing in the community by getting our uninsured Delawareans affordable, quality health insurance,” said Carper. “I am proud of the work they are doing on the front lines to inform, care for and offer preventive medicine to Delawareans.”
