Description

The purpose of this activity is to support grants for the planning and development of new service delivery sites in high poverty counties funded under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. Each application for grant support to plan and prepare for the development of a new site must identify a population in need of primary health care services.It must propose specific developmental activities that upon successful completion would facilitate the establishment of a new health center access point in an underserved high poverty county under the Health Center Program. Beginning in FY 2007, the Consolidated Health Center Program will build on the success of the President's Health Centers Initiative to increase access to comprehensive primary health care for the most vulnerable populations by targeting the Nation's poorest counties through a second health centers initiative.The goal of the President's High Poverty Access Initiative is to increase access to primary health care in the Nation's poorest counties that can support a comprehensive health center.The purpose of the Health Center Program is to extend comprehensive primary and preventive health services (including mental health,substance abuse and oral health services) and supplemental services to populations currently without access to such services, and to improve their health status.
