Today we'd like to congratulate Harmony Health Medical Clinic and Family Resource Center for receiving 1 of 5 of the Dr. John L. Maffeo Awards. This award provides a mini-grant to a member health center who will implement a program that may require additional funding to be used for expenses not normally covered under other funding sources.

Harmony Health's award is being used for its Street Medicine: Food Security Program which will allow them to make a capital investment in a refrigerator and storage shelves in order to increase their ability to provide otherwise perishable, nutrition dense foods in an effort to address malnutrition and other chronic conditions.
