Two clinics in the region are among 85 community health centers in the country to receive $508 million from the federal Recovery Act, the White House announced today.

The Squirrel Hill Health Center, located in the Jewish Association on Aging's Campus off Old Browns Hill Road, is set to receive $792,700 and Cornerstone Care in Greensboro, Greene County, is slated for $2.5 million. The health center is not affiliated with the JAA.

The money is directed toward construction and renovation projects.

"It is going to enable us to build a dental center so we can offer oral health care to uninsured and underserved residents," said Susan Friedberg Kalson, CEO of the Squirrel Hill Health Center. A site has been secured nearby.

Information was not available on how Greene County's clinic will spend the money.
