The CSHC has been awarded a $7.95 million dollar Capital Development Program Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration. The funding will be used to build a 34,000 square foot green expansion to the Health Center’s main building. Space will allow the Health Center to expand clinical programs, and also add space for educational and social programs.
This expansion will also allow the further development of the partnership between CSHC and the Codman Academy Foundation, which supports the Codman Academy Charter School, and will allow for more internships for Codman Academy students in the Health Center and training for students to be “Health Ambassadors” to their families and communities.
