The County of Missoula, doing business as the Missoula City-County Health Department, was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224). The funding will support expanding operating hours by 33.5 hours per week across five access points in Missoula, Montana. This includes the main Creamery Clinic, the Watershed Clinic and Navigation Center, the Alder Behavioral Health Clinic, and two school-based service sites. The expanded hours are expected to facilitate greater appointment availability and access to the full range of health center services for 799 unique patients across 2,730 patient encounters, including an estimated 185 new patients. Key outcomes include reducing emergency department visits through increased use of primary care and improving health center penetration in the urban core of the service area.
