Hartford’s Charter Oak Community Health Center in is receiving a $358,333 federal grant to provide treatment for needy households, authorities say.
Sens. Joe Lieberman and Richard Blumenthal and Congressman John Larson announced the award Wednesday from federal Department of Health and Human Services.
Hartford’s share is part of the $28.8 million appropriated under the Affordable Care Act to 67 community health centers nationwide to establish new health care sites that will serve an extra 286,000 patients.
Connecticut’s 13 community health centers provide a range of essential care including immunizations, prenatal care, primary care services, and behavioral and dental care in regions where care is most limited.
