U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff has made significant efforts to improve health care for families in East and Central Georgia. Recently, he announced that Federal funding will be provided to Community Health Care Systems to purchase new equipment for its 18 health clinics across the region. These clinics are located in Macon-Bibb, Johnson, Washington, Twiggs, Wilkinson, Laurens, Jones, Telfair, Taliaferro, Jefferson, Warren, Hancock, Glascock, and Baldwin Counties.
With this funding, Community Health Care Systems plans to acquire barrier-free bariatric lift tables and wheelchair scales for its clinics. This equipment will help reduce the risk of falling and injury to patients and increase access to care. Senator Ossoff worked tirelessly across party lines to secure $132,000 for the project through a bipartisan government funding package.
Senator Ossoff expressed his unwavering commitment to improving rural health care in Georgia and thanked CEO Carla Belcher for proposing the upgrades. Belcher was grateful for Senator Ossoff’s support in securing Federal funding for Community Health Care Systems. She emphasized that the new equipment will enable higher-quality primary health care while minimizing the risk of injury to patients during examinations. This funding will help reduce barriers to care for families in the region.
In summary, Senator Ossoff’s dedication towards improving rural healthcare in Georgia has led him to secure Federal funding for Community Health Care Systems’ upgrade of its clinics with barrier-free bariatric lift tables and wheelchair scales. The new equipment will enhance accessibility and safety while reducing the risk of injury during examinations.
The efforts of Senator Ossoff have been instrumental in ensuring that families in East and Central Georgia receive quality healthcare services despite being located in rural areas where access is often limited due to geographical barriers or lack of resources. With this latest initiative, he continues his commitment towards improving healthcare outcomes for all Georgians regardless of their location or socioeconomic backgrounds.
