Today, Congressman Langworthy (NY-23) announced a $600,000 federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to The Chautauqua Center. This funding is intended to expand behavioral health services in the region.

“The Chautauqua Center plays a critical role in ensuring that the Southern Tier has access to affordable quality care,” said Congressman Langworthy. “This grant will strengthen their ability to provide vital mental health services, supporting individuals and families facing mental health challenges. I am proud to support their mission and this significant investment in the well-being of our community.”

This grant enables health centers to increase their staff, broaden their service offerings, and enhance care for individuals struggling with mental health issues, including substance abuse disorders.
