Relating to a community health clinic grant program.

HB 2299 establishes a state grant program to fund community health clinics serving medically underserved areas or populations. Clinics located in counties with 800,000+ residents adjacent to counties with 4 million+ residents may apply. Grants support preventive care, chronic disease management (like diabetes and hypertension), and strengthening clinic capacity to improve health access and reduce disparities. The program allocates $200 million biennially from state funds for these purposes.
