"With this timely grant, the Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center can continue to provide affordable, high-quality healthcare that our community deserves. Since its inception, the Addabbo Center has accepted and cared for thousands of patients, balancing accessibility with amazing service.

"The Addabbo Center is a premier healthcare provider that treats those struggling with mental health issues and substance abuse, two serious and frequently related issues that also carry a chilling and unfortunate stigma.
