County Clinic Funding Shortfall

Summary

COVID-era federal money that propped up county health clinics (about $5 million a year) is gone, leaving a $5 million hole. Without reserve draws or a new plan, more than 22,000 people could lose access to care — and clinics aren't a mandated county service, so Supervisors want a fallback plan before a crisis hits.
