PCDC to administer the Community Health Care Revolving Capital Fund. This initiative will help PCDC meet the substantial expansion needs of community-based primary and behavioral health care providers throughout New York State, which is critical to successful health system and payment reform. The leadership of Governor Andrew Cuomo, Assembly Health Committee Chair Richard Gottfried and Senate Health Committee Chair Kemp Hannon, as well as our partnership with the Community Health Care Association of NYS, made this innovative program a reality."
Community Health Care Association of New York State Board Chair and Finger Lakes Community Health CEO Mary Zelazny said, "We appreciate the efforts of the Legislature and the Governor to make this new capital fund a reality. They clearly recognize the crucial rule that community-based providers, including FQHCs, play in helping to transform New York’s health care delivery system to improve the delivery of quality health care services at a more affordable cost. The Community Health Care Revolving Capital Fund provides a new funding opportunity for our members to address a portion of their critical capital needs as they grow and modernize their facilities. We know that the Primary Care Development Corporation recognizes both the needs and the value of strong community health providers, and we look forward to working with PCDC and DASNY on this initiative."
