Press Release
Washington, D.C. -- Senator Evan Bayh today announced that 19 community health centers across Indiana will receive nearly $5 million in economic recovery funds to expand and improve health care services. Grant recipients may use the funds to add new providers, expand hours of operations or increase available services at the clinics.
“It is critical that every Hoosier have access to high-quality, affordable health care,” Senator Bayh said. “Not only will this funding improve the level of care available to Hoosiers, it will help create and sustain jobs right here in Indiana.”
The grants, part of the second wave of funding available for community health centers, were allocated as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
