Today, Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-Carmel Valley) announced the distribution of $4,532,605 in federal government grants to Community Health Centers in California’s 20th Congressional District to help respond to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

The funding for these grants comes from the recently passed Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

“These grants are a direct result of our work to pass the CARES Act in Congress and ensure such critical funding for our local Community Health Centers at such a crucial time during this pandemic,” said Congressman Panetta.  “This federal funding will help local health providers adapt to unprecedented demands and challenges as they provide quality, affordable health care services for individuals and families from the most rural to the most urban parts of our region.”

As part of the comprehensive federal response to the coronavirus pandemic, Congressman Panetta joined fellow members of the California delegation in calling on HHS Secretary Alex Azar to expeditiously and equitably distribute the funding Congress allocated in the CARES Act to reimburse health care providers for care or lost revenues attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Congressman Panetta also joined his colleagues in urging Congressional leaders to provide additional emergency funding for the nation’s community health centers in future coronavirus stimulus bills.
