Albany Area Primary Health Care, Inc. has been awarded a $5,187,269 Health Center Program grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This grant was announced by Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02), who stated that having health centers close to where people live is essential for timely care and adherence to treatment plans.

The organization aims to expand its services, open new offices, and recruit more healthcare providers in Southwest Georgia with this funding. This grant will allow Albany Area Primary Health Care to continue serving the residents of Southwest Georgia effectively.
Health Resources and Services Administration-funded health centers are community-based and patient-directed organizations that play a vital role in meeting the healthcare needs of communities across the country. This grant will allow Albany Area Primary Health Care to continue serving the residents of Southwest Georgia effectively while ensuring that patients in 13 counties have access to quality healthcare services.
