National Health Center Week kicked off on Monday. It acts as opportunity to highlight the services that Community Health Centers provide regardless of your insurance status or ability to pay.
On Wednesday, March 29, U.S. Congressman Dan Kildee of Flint (District 8) today announced new federal funding to expand affordable, high-quality health care in Genesee County.
Congressman Dan Kildee said that two grants awarded by the US Department of Health and Human Services will be used to support the Genesee Health System.

In an effort to reach more Michiganders in need of COVID-19 testing and other public health services, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is partnering with Genesee Community Health Center (GCHC) to provide mobile COVID-19 testing, vaccines and PPE, along with food, clothing and other social services. Every Michigander should have access to fundamental public health services regardless of their zip code, and this partnership with the Genesee Community Health Center will bring us a step closer to making that a reality, said Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist. These mobile sites are a product of the Michigan Coronavirus Task Force on Racial Disparities, which I am proud to have chaired for over a year, and have been widely successful in advancing racial equity as we fight COVID-19. I look forward to seeing this partnership provide services where they are most needed in Genesee County.
