SENATOR MIDDLETON JOINS MARYLAND COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCES COMMISSION TO ANNOUNCE STATE DENTAL AWARD TO HEALTH PARTNERS

Waldorf, MD (August 6, 2010) – Senator Mac Middleton, Chairman, Senate Finance Committee, joins the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission (CHRC) and other state and local officials to announce a dental grant to Health Partners, a free clinic serving Charles County. The

two-year dental grant will enable Health Partners to double its capacity to provide dental services to uninsured Charles County residents.

The dental award is one of 14 grants issued this year by the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission, and these 14 grants are projected to serve more than 76,000 low-income and uninsured Marylanders. In addition to these 14 grants, the CHRC has awarded 64 grants over the last four years, totaling $20.5 million, and these grants have provided health care to more than 60,000 Marylanders. Over the coming weeks and months, the CHRC will be working with DHMH and local health officers to help Maryland safety net providers, organizations like Health Partners, implement health reform.
