Primary health care expanding in Coney Island thanks to federal funds
Lutheran Family Health CentersĀ (LHFC) will be opening a preventive and primary care health site in storm-ravaged Coney Island thanks to federal funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
LHFC is one of only two federally qualified health centers in the state to receive HHS funds to build new heath service delivery sites.
About $650,000 in funding will help LHFC provide comprehensive primary health care services in nine Coney Island public housing developments, which together form the largest public housing project in Brooklyn and house nearly 9,000 residents.
