RIFLE, Colo. – A western Colorado health center has received a $500,000 grant to help build a clinic in Rifle to serve a growing number of patients who are on Medicare or have no insurance.
Mountain Family Health Centers of Glenwood Springs was awarded the grant this week by the Colorado Health Foundation.
Mountain Family Health Centers says the grant will be applied toward building the $2.5 million clinic.
