U.S. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley announced last week that East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) could receive up to $14.7 in grant money through the American Rescue Plan.
EBNHC has been serving patients from Eastie, Chelsea, Revere, Winthrop and the South End throughout the pandemic with increased testing and vaccination programs.
Pressley said EBNHC will join 12 other Community Health Centers in her 7th Congressional District in sharing a total of $56,833,875 in American Rescue Plan funds.
Once all the details are ironed out EBNHC can use the funds to expand their COVID-19 vaccination and treatment services. The resources are part of the American Rescue Plan’s investments to expand access to vaccines in historically underserved communities.
