Project Grant H8J54608

The Bureau of Primary Health Care, part of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), has awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224) to the Denver Health and Hospital Authority (Denver Health) to expand hours of operation at the Lowry Family Health Center and Adult Dental and OMFS Clinic. The grant funding will enable Denver Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), to extend medical, pharmacy, laboratory, environmental services, and security services on Saturdays at the Lowry clinic, and expand weekday and weekend dental services at the Adult Dental and OMFS Clinic to meet increasing patient demand. The goal is to increase access to comprehensive primary care, dental, and ancillary services during hours that better accommodate patients' schedules. This project aims to leverage Denver Health's existing infrastructure and services to improve healthcare flexibility and options for the predominantly low-income and minority patient population it serves in the Denver area.
