Four health centers in Maui County will receive more than $5 million in federal funds to continue providing care for underserved communities.
Hawaii U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz announced Tuesday that 14 community health centers across the state would see $23.7 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, including:
• $1,496,879 for the Community Clinic of Maui.
• $1,460,219 for the Lana'i Community Health Center.
• $1,233,746 for Hana Health.
• $1,005,059 for Moloka'i 'Ohana Health Care.
Health centers offer primary health care services to people regardless of their ability to pay, often serving as the main source of care for those geographically isolated and economically or medically vulnerable, according to a news release from Schatz. These centers have also played an important role during the pandemic, offering COVID testing, treatment and vaccination services and expanding patient access to care through telehealth.
