Stefanik Statement on Passage of Reauthorization of Community Health Center Funding

Statement

Date: Dec. 11, 2023
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health and Health Care

"I am proud that the House passed legislation which included a bill I introduced earlier this year to extend the Community Health Center Fund and the National Health Service Corps through 2025 providing Community Health Centers (CHCs) with critically needed resources to meet NY21's healthcare needs. CHCs provide necessary healthcare and preventative services for families across Upstate New York and the North Country. Extending this funding is imperative for NY21's CHCs to equip them with resources to serve over 250,000 patients in my district. Since my first day in office, I have been a tireless advocate for delivering high-quality rural healthcare to our Upstate New York and North Country families, and as a proud Co-Chair of the Community Health Center Caucus in Congress, I have fought hard for long-term funding for our nation's CHCs. This critical funding will give health centers a more stable financial foundation, which allows for even more expansion of services and locations."
