ARC Funding For KY Mountain Health Alliance
KENTUCKY...
Gov. Steve Beshear joined local officials to announce $325,000 of Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) federal funding for the rehabilitation of a building to house the Kentucky Mountain Health Alliance Inc (KMHA).
KMHA serves the health and wellbeing of underserved citizens and those at risk for homelessness. The existing Little Flower Clinic facility is leased space that has a leaking roof and malfunctioning heating/cooling system and does not meet building code requirements. With only 4,500 square-feet of space, the ability to protect patient confidentiality and provide adequate workspace is limited. Outdated communications and technology services result in frequent disruptions in service. Dangerous and limited parking presents problems for clients and staff.
The ARC grant will supplement funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
