(WTNH) - Congressman Joe Courtney announced that Windham Hospital has secured a $101,597 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to implement an electronic health record system at the two school based health clinics in Windham.

The grant is a product of the Affordable Care Act, which provided a total of $200 million for FY 2010 through FY 2013 for school-based health centers.

Windham Hospital, in partnership with the Town of Windham, provides healthcare services and staff at clinics in both the Windham Middle and High Schools.

"This grant will help Windham Hospital improve the already tremendous work it is doing to keep our children healthy in school," said Congressman Courtney.

The School Based Health Centers at Windham Middle and High School currently serve over 465 students annually with over 2,250 visits.
