WASHINGTON- Senator Chuck Grassley today announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded two grants totaling $250,000 to community health centers in Iowa.
“Community health centers are important because they provide primary and preventative health care services to medically under-served areas,” Grassley said. “It’s nice to see Northwest Iowa residents benefit from these services.”
Grassley co-sponsored The Health Centers Renewal Act of 2007 which reauthorized the health centers program for another five years and strengthened and expanded health centers in order to care for nearly 30 million patients. Many
Iowa communities have benefitted from the federal investment of health centers, and other communities are looking to start new centers.
The grant funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will be distributed as shown below.
v Greater Sioux Community Health Center, in Sioux Center will receive a $100,000 grant.
v Siouxland Community Health Center, in Sioux City will receive a $150,000 grant.
