COMING UP: Courtney Visits Generations Health Center to Discuss New Federal Funding to Bolster Public Health
NORWICH, CT – This morning at 11:30am ET, Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02) will visit Generations Family Health Center in Willimantic to discuss newly awarded federal American Rescue Plan funding that will support construction, renovation, and other capital improvements to enhance local health care infrastructure. Generations will receive a federal grant award of $727,752 through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Center Construction and Capital Improvements program—a program authorized specifically by the American Rescue Plan Act (H.R. 1319).
Generations Family Health Center network has locations in Willimantic, Norwich, Putnam, and Danielson, as well as two school-based health centers in Putnam. They have served as a crucial resource in providing an array of health care services to residents of eastern Connecticut during the COVID-19 pandemic, including testing and vaccine distribution. The new American Rescue Plan grant award will allow Generations to expand its current operations and services with infrastructure enhancements, giving the health center capacity to treat more patients.
Rep. Courtney voted to pass the American Rescue Plan Act in March, and helped announce the new support to Generations on September 30th. Today, he’ll meet with the team at Generations Health for a tour of operations, and to discuss plans for the new American Rescue Plan health care infrastructure grant funding.
