Community Clinic, one of Arkansas' 12 FQHCs, received $500,000 to open a School Based Health Center in Springdale, AR. On July 14, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced they had awarded $95 million in competitive federal grants for school-based health centers (SBHCs) to 278 programs across the country. These programs will improve access to basic primary health care for school-aged children, many of whom have no other sources of care.
