GE Foundation awards $500K to two health centers in Pa.

Two Erie, Pa.-based community health centers were awarded $500,000 from GE Foundation, the philanthropic organization of the General Electric Company, in an effort to help increase access to quality healthcare across the nation.

As part of the GE Developing Health program, these grants will support the community health net centers–the Daniel S. Snow, MD Health Center and Harborcreek Health Services–in providing increased access to healthcare in their respective communities.

Developing Health is a three-year, $50 million GE program that aims to improve access to primary care in targeted underserved communities across the U.S., the organization stated. The program aligns with GE’s healthymagination initiative to reduce costs, improve quality and increase access to healthcare.
