Wash. suspends grants to community health clinics
About $5.3 million in monthly grants to community health clinics around the state will be suspended through June.

About $5.3 million in monthly grants to community health clinics around the state will be suspended through June.
Three dozen organizations representing 214 clinics will see the grants suspended beginning Jan. 1.
The state Health Care Authority says that could be changed under a supplemental budget approved by the Legislature.
Spokesman Jim Stevenson says the agency already made $9.8 million in cuts after Gov. Chris Gregoire ordered across-the-board cuts in September. But those previous reductions hadn't affected the clinic grants.
The clinic cuts detailed Wednesday are part of Gov. Chris Gregoire's attempts to cover a deficit in the current state budget.
