Kildee Announces Over $1.4 Million to Support Local Health Center

Statement

Congressman Dan Kildee, Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus, today announced a new federal grant to support a local health center helping to provide quality, effective health care to mid-Michigan residents, particularly those who are medically underserved or live in rural areas.

The $1,435,649 federal grant, awarded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), will help Genesee Health System support the mental health, developmental disabilities and substance use disorder needs of the adults, children, families and veterans served throughout mid-Michigan.

"In Congress, I am working to bring federal resources home to mid-Michigan to lower health care costs. That's why I'm pleased to announce this federal grant to a local mental health provider to ensure the community has access to mental health care. Every Michigander deserves access to quality healthcare, including mental health care," said Congressman Kildee.

Congressman Kildee continues to fight to ensure mid-Michigan residents have access to affordable health care, including announcing over $11 million in federal grants to fund local Community Health Centers in mid-Michigan, as well as grants for rural and underserved providers.
