BREWSTER – State Senator Peter Harckham visited the campus of the Hudson Valley Regional Community Health Center/Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy Association and the freshman lawmaker liked what he saw.
Howard Yager, executive director for the Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy Association and chairman of the Board from Hudson Valley Regional Health Center, said senator was “extremely helpful and most supportive when listening to our story and touring our facilities. He expressed great interest in assisting the organization to become successful in the delivery of health services throughout the county.”
The recently created Hudson Valley Regional Health Center is a federally qualified health center providing medical services throughout Putnam and Dutchess.
Yager explained to the senator the types of services needed by residents of the area as well as seeking financial support from Albany to help the agency through its initial development period.
“They are a great facility by providing important assistance to our community across a wide spectrum of services,” Harckham said. “Anything I can do to support their mission I will be more than happy to assist.”
The senator said he will work on seeking the appropriate state agencies to determine where funding is available to expand programs of the agency.
