York Dispatch: $1M grant to help Family First Health expand reentry health programs

Family First Health received a $1 million grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration to provide health care to help those who were recently incarcerated transition back to the community.

“This funding enables us to better support individuals reentering society by addressing their health needs early, paving the way for healthier, more stable lives,” said Jenny Englerth, President and CEO of Family First Health. “Together with York County, we are creating a stronger system of care that promotes positive outcomes for all residents.”

As the only health center in Pennsylvania chosen for this funding and one of just 54 nationwide, Family First Health is collaborating with the York County Reentry Coalition to deliver specialized services to individuals nearing release. The partnership focuses on bridging gaps in healthcare and ensuring continuity of care to reduce risks of health crises during the reentry process.
