5:27Now PlayingSen. Bernie Sanders was on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 18 to mark the opening of a new $11 million home for the Community Health Center of Burlington. The new facility doubles the center's size and will allow it to serve more patients throughout Chittenden County. The Burlington center offers primary health care, dental care, mental health counseling and low-cost prescription drugs to some 13,000 residents of Chittenden County. The expansion will help the center care for 3,500 additional patients, a 25 percent increase, from throughout the community.
The Burlington project was funded from $2 billion allotted in the 2009 economic stimulus bill for community health centers. Another $10 million in federal stimulus funding went to other centers in Vermont to hire more staff and renovate facilities around the state.
