We focus on ensuring the HUSKY program’s effectiveness and enhancing health care delivery in Connecticut. We partner with health centers to actively engage with federal and state officials, deliver legislative testimony, and participate in state-appointed task forces to shape future policy, reinforcing our commitment to the community we serve.
Connecticut will receive about $154 million in its first tranche of federal assistance to improve health care and access in rural parts of the state. The federal aid comes from the Rural Health Transformation Program, a $50 billion fund that will dole out money to all states over the next five years.
It is imperative that Connecticut takes proactive steps to protect its residents. The clearest path forward is for the state to expand and strengthen community health centers (CHCs), which provide affordable primary care and prevent emergency room overcrowding. By investing in community health centers, Connecticut can keep its citizens healthy, reduce long waits, and ensure timely care even as federal cuts take effect.
