The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has awarded a $25.5 million grant to the City of San Antonio Metropolitan Health District that will cover a five-year period and be used to upgrade the city's health care infrastructure.
“We deeply appreciate this significant assistance, and I want to specifically thank Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm for their support and confidence in the SA Forward plan,” said Mayor Ron Nirenberg. “Additionally, we are grateful to Congressman Joaquin Castro for his instrumental support of San Antonio’s bid to obtain this public health funding.
As a national public health initiative, the CDC announced that $3.9 billion will be offered to state, local and territorial jurisdictions across the U.S. through the course of five years. This is to strengthen their public health workforce and infrastructure. A City of San Antonio news release states, “As part of the American Rescue Plan Act, $3 billion will be used to recruit, retain, and train public health workers in jurisdictions, including contact tracers, community health workers, epidemiologists, and data analysts. Funds will also be used for stronger infrastructure and resources to enable public health across communities, especially in marginalized areas.
“San Antonio Metropolitan Health District is a critical resource for both San Antonio’s community and environmental health,” Rep. Castro said. “These federal funds will help Metro Health modernize its services and hire more personnel to improve our city’s access to health care over the next five years. I look forward to continuing to work with the City of San Antonio to ensure we keep moving forward and that San Antonio families receive the federal support they deserve.
