Lynn Community Health Center Among Those Awarded $150K

Four community health centers in Massachusetts, including one in Lynn, have been awarded a total of $600,000 to support efforts to treat people with asthma, diabetes and cancer in underserved communities.… The grants, which come from a multi-state settlement with pharmaceutical manufacturers, will be used to expand the use of community health workers. Each of the centers identified goals to use their health workers to help patients receive quality health services and improve access to care in ways that can reduce health disparities and control costs.
