Project Grant CE154258

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation received a $1,712,000 Project Grant award under the Congressional Directives program (CFDA 93.493) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The funding will support renovations and equipment purchases to expand the Women's Health Center at the Cleveland Clinic Akron General campus. The renovations will move the Center from the 2nd to the 1st floor, allowing for increased patient capacity and access to prenatal care and wrap-around services for underserved communities in the region. The grant will cover costs for demolition, construction, medical equipment like ultrasound machines, and hiring of additional community health workers to address social determinants of health. The project aims to improve maternal and infant health outcomes in areas with high disparities through enhanced access to high-quality prenatal care and evidence-based support services.
