Health-care grants to aid uninsured
The State Primary Care Grants Program makes primary care services more accessible to target populations such as the working poor, children, elderly, Native Americans, migrant and seasonal farm workers, individuals with chronic diseases, the homeless and single heads of household.
The program supports acute care services, adult immunizations, chronic illness support, dental services, diabetes control, mental health services, prevention services and women's health services.
They are awarded in a competitive bid process. More than half of the approved projects are rural and several encompass more than one county.
Grantees include nine community health centers, six public health departments, two urban homeless programs, 13 projects providing dental services in 21 counties, five projects specifically targeting diabetes, three projects providing mental health services and six projects providing women's health care services. They are expected to serve more than 14,638 individuals.
