Miami Beach, FL --- Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a senior member of the Florida Congressional Delegation, is pleased with the announcement by the Department of Health and Human Services of a grant for $142,015 for health care upgrades at the Miami Beach Community Health Center on South Beach.

Ros-Lehtinen is a strong advocate for quality, affordable and accessible health care for all individuals so she is grateful that the Department of Health & Human Services has granted these funds to the Health Center.

I will continue to be an advocate in Washington for the Center because as I’ve said before these Federal funds will help improve an already fantastic operation.”
