The Community Health Center of Fort Dodge, Inc. was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224). The grant funding will support the organization's efforts to extend its operating hours from 5 PM to 8 PM, Monday through Friday, to provide urgent acute care, mental health medication management, therapy, and primary care services to low-income residents in Fort Dodge, Iowa and the surrounding areas. The project aims to increase mental health service recipients by 400 and primary care recipients by 700, serving a total of 1,100 patients, 500 of whom will be new unduplicated patients. This expanded access to healthcare services is intended to address significant healthcare challenges in the service area, which has been designated as a Health Professional Shortage Area for mental health services and includes counties classified as Medically Underserved Areas.
