Family Health Center of Worcester

Six Worcester agencies have won a share of more than $3 million in funding from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation to improve healthcare services.

When Worcester public schools were closed this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic, the health-minded decision not only kept students out of the classroom – it also took away a key way for community health providers to reach students easily while they’re already in school.

The Family Health Center of Worcester and the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center in Worcester have received just over $1 million combined in federal aid to expand coronavirus testing capacity.
