More than a dozen Health Centers (CHCS) in the Birmingham region (CHCS), which rely on numerous federal grants programs to provide primary and preventive services to patients, seek guidelines after the management and budget service (OMB ) temporarily stopped all federal grants and certain funding flows in anticipation of an additional review.
Kahaba Medical Center; Regional Medical Services in Alabama; Hrist Health Center, Inc.; And Bessemer Health Center are several of the medical suppliers serving patients in the Birmingham subway area.
As of Tuesday afternoon, CHC failed to have access to federal funding through typical channels, which caused confusion and uncertainty, according to the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC). The organization said CHC rely on numerous federal grants programs to provide primary and preventative care services to over 32.5 million patients, or 1 per 10 people across the country.
As of 5:30 pm Tuesday, January 28, Federal Judge temporarily blocks the financing pause by Monday afternoon, February 3RdS
NachC has issued a press release to health centers across the country, including Birmingham, saying it is actively engaging with the Trump administration and congress leaders to gather additional information and provide CHC guidance.
