Gwen Moore
Recently, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4), along with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), announced the release of over $1.6 million in grant funding for Progressive Community Health Centers, Inc (PCHC).
This grant was awarded through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HRSA is the primary Federal agency for improving access to health care services for people who are uninsured, isolated or medically vulnerable.
Progressive Community Health Centers, Inc. offers adult medicine, pediatric medicine, women’s health, dental care, financial counseling, case management and referral services including xrays, mammography, cardiology, pain management, eye care and more. PCHC efforts have also helped to reduce avoidable emergency room visits by providing preventative care, thereby lessening the costs for health care systems and taxpayers. This grant will provide funds to facilitate these services that aim to reduce health disparities among high-risk populations.
“Access to health care is not an issue specific to one demographic, but spans across ethnic borders,” said Rep. Moore. “This much-needed grant will help PCHC continue to provide health care services for those who are oftentimes overlooked.” Progressive Community Health Centers exists to improve the health and quality of life of the community by providing culturally competent services that address identified needs.
