People’s Community Clinic gets $1.8M

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett announced Thursday that he has helped secure $1,879,156 in federal funding for the People’s Community Clinic. The money, which comes from the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) Health Center Program, will help with ongoing operational costs for the clinic that continues to struggle to meet the ever-present need for health care for people who are uninsured and underserved. “For decades, People’s Community Clinic has delivered affordable health care for people who are our neighbors,” Doggett said. “From primary and dental care to behavioral health, family planning services and more, People’s serves about 20,000 disadvantaged Central Texans annually. Like funds I previously secured to upgrade its electronic medical records, this federal investment will support the effective leadership of CEO Regina Rogoff and her team to do more to improve the health of more of our neighbors.”
