Scholten Celebrates Fully Funded Grant for Catherine’s Health | 2024-09-24 | 2024 | 2024-09 | Democrat | House | MI | Hillary J. Scholten | S001221 | scholten.house.gov | scholten | https://scholten.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – Following strong support from Congresswoman Hillary Scholten (MI-03), Catherine’s Health was awarded the full grant amount from the Health Resources and Services Administration. The funding will expand the federally qualified health center’s behavioral health services. “West Michigan’s behavioral health system is strained due to the rising number of incoming patients coupled with the closure of clinics. This grant funding will help Catherine’s Health become part of the solution to the mental health crisis facing our community,” said Rep. Scholten. “I supported Catherine’s through this grant process because I know their primary care infrastructure, coupled with their family planning and dental services, make their practice the perfect fit for this expansion. With the ability to better treat substance abuse disorders and support individuals struggling with their mental health, Catherine’s will make a life-saving impact for West Michiganders, especially those experiencing homelessness. I am proud to have played a role in bringing these grant dollars home.” “This funding will expand access to essential behavioral health services in our community while also transforming Catherine’s ability to provide holistic care to the unhoused,” said Megan Erskine, Catherine’s Health CEO. “Catherine’s thanks Congresswoman Scholten for her continued support of Federally Qualified Health Centers and the role they play in America’s primary care safety net.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
