Two Pee Dee community health centers in the 5th Congressional
District are receiving funds made available by the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act, U.S. Rep. John Spratt said.
CareSouth Carolina, based in Hartsville, will receive $614,758,
while HopeHealth Inc. based in Florence will get $126,933.
"People who lose their health insurance are turning to health
centers for care," Spratt said in a press release. "These funds
will help the centers provide care to more patients during this
recession, and create or retain health center jobs."
Health centers deliver preventive and primary care services to
patients regardless of their ability to pay; charges for services
are set according to income. Health centers served more than 16
million patients nationwide in 2007, about 40 percent of whom had
no health insurance.
