Rep. Adams Honored at Stratford Richardson YMCA After Securing Funds for New Clinic

CHARLOTTE - Yesterday, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) was honored by the YMCA of Greater Charlotte for her years of service to the community and the role she played in securing $2 million for the construction of their new Atrium Health Community Care Primary Care West Boulevard Family Medicine Clinic. This on-campus clinic will help provide quality, affordable care to those in need.

"By providing minor surgical procedures, women's care, pediatric care, and other preventive services, the Atrium Health Community Care Primary Care West Boulevard Family Medicine Clinic will be the difference between a family having to pay exorbitant emergency room fees and getting immediate treatment," said Rep. Adams. "I am deeply honored to be chosen for the YMCA of Greater Charlotte's inaugural 'Champion of Change' award. This work is personal for me and this clinic is an important step in closing the healthcare gaps that exist in our community. Healthcare is one of my four H's, so I am proud to have helped support this clinic and the YMCA of Greater Charlotte by securing funding towards its development."

"We owe a debt of gratitude not only to Congresswoman Adams but also to our incredible partners-Atrium Health, our YMCA team, the congresswoman's team, our elected officials, and our community partners," said Sue Glass, President & CEO, YMCA of Greater Charlotte. "Together, through advocacy, commitment, and collaboration, we are transforming the Stratford Richardson YMCA campus into a catalyst for positive impact in Charlotte's West Boulevard Corridor.

Other appropriations information and community project funding awards are available on Rep. Adams' website.
