Senator Hillary
Rodham Clinton |
NYUCD has received a U.S. Congressional grant of $250,000 for facilities
renovation, thanks to the staunch advocacy of Senator Hillary Rodham
Clinton (D-NY).
Dean Alfano praised Senator Clinton for her legislative leadership,
saying, “It’s very clear to me that Senator Clinton understands the
urgency of our need to renovate NYUCD’s treatment facilities in order
to preserve quality, affordable care for poor and low-income New Yorkers.
While we are raising some of this money privately, we cannot raise
it all. We are grateful to Senator Clinton for enabling this legislation,
and hopeful that as we continue to make our case, she and her colleagues
will provide additional support to help us maintain and expand New
York’s oral health safety net.” |
