Tables of all the grants

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded 204 grants worth $56.1 million that will provide health care services for low-income and uninsured Americans. The grants will create new service sites in the nation's network of health centers and expand the range of health care services offered at existing health centers. These grants were awarded on August 26, 2003.

The awards include 79 "new access point" grants, totaling almost $43 million, to help communities establish new health center sites. These sites will provide comprehensive primary health care services to an estimated 416,000 people, including many without health insurance. Subject to the availability of funds, awards will be made to grantees in the fall. The remaining $13.1 million in grants will go to 125 existing health center grantees to expand essential oral health, mental health, substance abuse, and pharmaceutical services for underserved rural and inner city-communities.
