WASHINGTON — Nearly $13 million will go toward boosting primary care, mental and dental health in communities that need it most, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

We’re told the money will come from the American Rescue Plan and the budget for the 2022 fiscal year.
