The funds will allow the various healthcare providers to expand clinic hours, add capacity to expand primary care services, tackle disease management and health education, increase dental and oral health services and add behavioral health services.
“We are thrilled to be able to present these deserving applicants with the primary care services grant that will improve quality and access to care around the state,” said AHCA Secretary Elizabeth Dudek. “Florida’s county health departments and community health centers are important cornerstones of public health, and we are proud to provide funding for programs that will help serve the healthcare needs of their communities.”
Among the Florida grant recipients are St. Andrew Community Medical Center in Panama City, Fort Lauderdale-based Broward Health, Fort Myers/Cape Coral-based Lee Memorial Health System and Port Orange-based Halifax Health.
