MRMC secures grant for School Based Health Center

Need for Adolescent Services Continues to Increase

In keeping with its goal to provide exceptional community healthcare services to those in its service region, Milford Regional Medical Center (MRMC) has secured a grant to continue its School Based Health Center (SBHC) at Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School in Upton. The grant was welcome funding as the need for adolescent services continues to grow.

The ten-year renewable $150,000 per year grant was awarded by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services Department of Public Health. It will be utilized to fund the salaries of the SBHC's Nurse Practitioner and Officer Coordinator/ Community Outreach, who MRMC employs, and mental health services provided through Riverside Community Care clinicians.
