Connecticut’s Department of Public Health is getting roughly $17.4 million for its response to COVID-19-related health disparities, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Wednesday.
It’s not just Connecticut that would see funds in furtherance of this effort — the agency said that it’s “part of a $2.25 billion nationwide investment” across two years.
The CDC referred to the effort, which draws funds from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, as its “largest investment to date to improve health equity in the United States.”
