Thanks to your advocacy efforts, the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce Committees included $10 billion community health center (CHC) infrastructure funding and $6.3 billion for primary care workforce in the Build Back Better Act. The House of Representatives also recently passed a continuing resolution (CR), which is now being considered by the United State Senate. The CR would prevent the federal government from shutting down by funding federal departments while Members of Congress work to finalize the federal budget past the September 30th deadline. We need your help to urge our Members of Congress to support the Build Back Better Act as well as $1.83 billion in discretionary funding in the new federal budget.
Increased discretionary funding and the Build Back Better Plan will allow us to:
• Continue providing quality, affordable, and comprehensive healthcare services such as: adult medicine, pediatrics health, dental care, COVID-19 testing and COVID-19 vaccinations.
• Expand our healthcare services by opening new facilities and hiring additional providers to meet our growing patient demand.
• Continue our innovative services such as our Medication Assisted Treatment Program and our Clinical Pharmacist which benefits our most vulnerable patients.
There’s too much at stake for our patients and our community. Help us take action today by sending an e-mail to our Members of Congress. Urge them to support the Build Back Better Act and the Build Back Better Act which provides $10 billion for CHC infrastructure investments.
