The Community Health Center in Middletown has been awarded $430,000 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
“This funding will enable the Community Health Center to offer more services to children in greater Middletown who have no other medical care,” State Sen. Len Suzio said.
The federal funding helps school-based health centers expand, add equipment, improve their electronic records or take other steps to serve more school-aged children.
