Ingham County Part of $2.6 Million Federal Health Clinic Grant Program

Lansing and Inkster, Mich., received $2.6 million in federal health care grants to assist community clinics that service low-income residents.

According to excerpts from the article:

The grants will go to the Western Wayne Family Health Center in Inkster, which also serves residents of Romulus and Taylor, and the Ingham County Health Department in Lansing, which has seven clinics. 

"This is really important," said spokesman Marcus Cheatham of the Ingham County Health Department.

"People are losing their health care services, and there is a big demand for our help. This will be really good for the Lansing area," said Cheatham, adding that the grant money will enable the Ingham County clinics to provide services to up to an additional 5,000 people.
