The Asher Community Health Center (ACHC) was awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Community Health Centers federal grant program (CFDA 93.224). The funding will allow ACHC to expand access to healthcare services in Wheeler County, Oregon by increasing operating hours at its Spray and Mitchell clinic sites. Specifically, the grant will fund 1 full-time primary care provider, 1.5 FTE medical assistants, and 1.5 FTE front desk support staff to enable the Spray clinic to increase service hours from 16 to 40 per week and the Mitchell clinic to increase hours from 16 to 24 per week. This will improve access to primary care, dental, and pharmacy services for the underserved and vulnerable populations living in these rural communities. The grant period is from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2026.
