Bill sends $60M to state’s federally qualified health centers

Posted online
The Jordan Valley Community Health Center is slated to get $10.6 million to replace its current site and purchase new equipment under a bill that Gov. Matt Blunt signed this morning in Springfield.

Blunt visited the center, 630 W. Kearney, to sign a budget bill that will send $60 million to the state’s federally qualified health centers to expand the services they offer to low-income Missourians. In 2006, the state’s community health centers served 307,000 people, according to a news release from Blunt’s office.

Blunt earmarked $5 million of the funding for implementing electronic health records systems at the health centers.[[In-content Ad]]
