Project Grant H8055716

The Health Resources and Services Administration awarded The Wright Center Medical Group (doing business as Wright Center For Community Health) $1.3 million in project grant funding on August 1, 2026, under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224) to establish and operate a new access point primary care clinic in Blakeslee, Pennsylvania.

The Wright Center will deliver the full scope of primary care, mental and substance abuse services, oral health, prenatal and postnatal services, pediatrics, telehealth, and case management services at the new Blakeslee clinic, located in Monroe County in rural northeastern Pennsylvania. The clinic will serve the population at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines, the uninsured, the underinsured, and the medically underserved in ZIP code 18610, an area of high unmet need contiguous with the organization's existing service area. The Wright Center is a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike and Pennsylvania State Center of Excellence for Opioid/Substance Use Disorder Treatment that currently operates health centers in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne, and Wyoming Counties, serving over 50,000 patients. Seventy percent of patients at existing locations live at or below 200 percent of federal poverty guidelines, with 46 percent living below 100 percent of guidelines.

Period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027, with place of performance in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
