Good News Clinics of Gainesville is one of 33 recipients of a million dollars in grants from the CVS Health Foundation.
Good News is getting $35,000 as part of a multi-year grant program with the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics. Over the past four years, the Foundation has donated nearly $5 million to NAFC to increase access to quality care and support the management of chronic disease.
This is not the first time Good News has received a grant from the same groups. A news release from the CVS Foundation Good News used earlier funding to recruit 22 additional physicians to expand availability of services for Health Access patients – surpassing its goal of ten and thereby lessening the wait time for patients requiring specialty care.
This year's grant will be used in support of a cost-effective protocol for evaluation and treatment of Hepatitis C patients
"As a pharmacy innovation company, we are committed to helping people on their path to better health in the communities where we live and work," said Eileen Howard Boone, president of the CVS Health Foundation. "Our support for the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics has yielded significant results over the past four years that demonstrate how increased access to quality care and innovative approaches to chronic disease management can affect the lives of the most vulnerable Americans."
Good News is the only Georgia recipient of one of the grants.
