Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) announced this week two grants from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Virginia Department of Health.
The first grant, for $3,176,750, is for preventive health services.
The second grant is for maternal, infant, and early childhood home visits for $7,808,455.
“All Virginians deserve access to affordable quality health care and the Virginia Department of Health helps many low-income Virginians receive that needed care. These funds will help ensure preventive care to keep Virginians healthy.” said Congressman McEachin. “Maternal, infant, and early childhood home visits help provide families with the skills and resources needed to raise children to be physically, socially, and emotionally healthy. The grant for home visits will ensure that new moms get the support and services they need for healthy, happy outcomes for their babies.”
