HHS’ Health Resources and Services Administration today announced grants totaling almost $36.8 million to support 35 new Healthy Communities Access Program (HCAP) awards and 10 competitive continuation grants for fourth-year grantees.
 
HCAP grants help communities link services delivered by local safety-net health care providers into coordinated networks serving uninsured and underinsured residents.  The grants are designed to increase access to health care by eliminating fragmented service delivery, improving efficiencies among local providers, and encouraging greater private-sector involvement.
