New York State Health Foundation Grant Helps Health Centers Win Federal Expansion Funds

New York State Health Foundation Grant Helps Health Centers Win Federal Expansion Funds With approximately 1.2 million New Yorkers poised to gain health insurance coverage as a result of federal health reform, demand for primary care services is likely to increase greatly. The Affordable Care Act includes $11 billion in funding to enhance primary care access at community health centers. Recognizing a need and an opportunity, in August 2010 the New York State Health Foundation made a grant of nearly $400,000 to the Community Health Care Association of New York State to work with twelve health centers to develop successful proposals for obtaining and using these federal funds. Ultimately, eleven of the twelve sites are expected to receive $25.6 million in federal grants over a five-year period—a sixty-four-fold return on the foundation’s investment. This article describes the strategy for investing in community health centers; identifies key project activities, challenges, and lessons; and highlights its next steps for strengthening primary care. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Health Affairs Health Affairs
