CHC Conversion Status

Since receiving word from the Department of Health this June that our application to convert our medical services over to a full-fledged Community Health Center (CHC) has been granted "contingent approval" we've completed 9 of our 11 "contingencies" and have been working diligently on the remaining 2. The most difficult one seems to be securing a $20,000 start-up grant. Working together with our Board of Directors, Steve Hays has already submitted a number of grant applications. If you have any suggestions, please contact us ASAP! As soon as we're able to satisfy our contingencies we can move ahead with the conversion, hopefully this fall.

Rest assured that conversion of Grace Family Medicine into a clinic that is fully licensed by NY will only bring about positive changes in the way we are able to care for our community.
