Schumer, Gillibrand announces $374,989 will go to health clinic in Schenectady County

Schenectady Family Health Services, Inc. will receive $374,989 in funding from President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for adding providers and expanding service and hours of operation. The funding will provide greater access to medical care for Schenectady County residents.

“These funds are just what the doctor ordered,” said Senator Charles Schumer. “In these tough economic times, this federal funding from the Economic Recovery Package will go a long way in ensuring that all residents have continued access to quality, affordable healthcare.”

"Community Health Centers are a lifeline to many families across New York," said Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. "During these tough economic times, it is more important than ever that our families continue to receive the care they need. These federal dollars are a step in the right direction to helping community health centers, which are the true safety net providers for the people who need care most. I will continue to work hard in the Senate to ensure New York gets its fair share of federal dollars."
