Help is on the way for communities that lack comprehensive health care services. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services this week announced more than $100 million in Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act funding to 164 new community health centers in 33 states and two U.S. territories.
"The Affordable Care Act has led to unprecedented increases in access to health insurance," HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell said in a statement. "Part of building on that progress is connecting people to the care they need. Health centers are keystones of the communities they serve.
