LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Three Louisville community health centers will share more than $ 2 million from the US bailout.

FHC plans to use the funds for repairs and upgrades to its main location in the Portland neighborhood. The largest project involves the renovation of the laundry room located in the former US Navy hospital.

The SCHC plans to use the funds to renovate and expand its existing medical center. The project increases the capacity to serve patients and makes improvements to critical infrastructure and information technology.
The awards are part of nearly $ 1 billion in funding awarded nationally through the ARP.
