The funds will be used by 14 community health centers across the state for expanded services and construction.
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), Vice Chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and a senior member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, today announced that, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 14 community health centers across Maryland have been awarded a combined total of $4,161,916 in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to increase access to health care services in Maryland. Community health centers provide comprehensive, high quality primary and preventive care to Americans in rural and urban communities, who otherwise may face hurdles in accessing basic health care services.
“Community health centers provide an important safety net for the people who need it most,” Senator Mikulski said. “During the debate over health reform, I fought to end the punitive practices of health insurance companies, but I also fought to expand access to needed health care services. These funds, which we included in the Affordable Care Act, will help families in under-served neighborhoods have access to quality, reliable care in their own communities. I will continue to fight for the health and well-being of Maryland families with a government on their side.”
Since the beginning of 2009, health centers have expanded access to care to an additional six million patients, serving nearly 23 million people each year. Today, more than 1,300 health center grantees operate approximately 9,000 sites in every state and U.S. territory.

She is as much a Socialist as Obama. What do you expect from a liberal Democrat.
She is old, feeble, and dementia is setting in....Please Retire Micky-ulski...
She voted for the Iran Nuke deal, that should take care of the health of millions of nuked victims. She is another treasonist in Washington.
More handouts to people who could care less. Another wasted program overlapping 20 others with different names and budget.
