Bingaman: New Mexican Families to Benefit from $1.1 Million Health Care Grant
Press Release
Issues: Health and Health Care
U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the State of New Mexico will receive a $1.1 million grant through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program.
The funding will be used to help at-risk families by providing services in fields like health, child protection, early education, and social services; it comes from a grant program created in the Affordable Care Act.
"This is just one of the many ways the Affordable Care Act will help improve health care access to many New Mexicans," Bingaman said.
