Bonamici Calls for Restoration of Funding for
Children’s Health Insurance, Community Health Centers
Bonamici visits Virginia
Garcia’s Century High School
Health Center
Congresswoman Suzanne Bon-
amici (D-OR) visited the school-based
health center at Hillsboro’s Century
High School and met with students,
staff, and health care advocates about the
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP). Congress allowed funding for
CHIP and Community Health Centers to
expire on September 30, 2017. Oregon
receives $250 million per year in CHIP
funding, which covers about 98,000 Or-
egon children. Virginia Garcia Memorial
Health Center operates the school-based
health center at Century High School
and relies in part on CHIP and Commu-
nity Health Center funding.
“Congressional leadership has
shown disregard for the health and well-
being of vulnerable children by allowing
the Children’s Health Insurance Pro-
gram to lapse,” said Bonamici. “School-
based health centers help students get the
care they need, and make life easier for
working families. Virginia Garcia relies
on stable CHIP and Community Health
Center funding to provide quality health
care at their six school-based health cen-
ters and five community-based primary
care clinics. I call on my colleagues in
the doctor. The support we receive from
our federal partners ensures that the kids
of Washington and Yamhill counties will
continue to receive the care they need
to stay healthy. We deeply appreciate
the support and exposure that Congress-
woman Bonamici has given this critical
issue.”
In Congress, Bonamici has been
a champion for school-based health cen-
ters because they provide students with
convenient access to physical and men-
tal health care without requiring that par-
ents take time out of their work day to
transport their children to an off-campus
clinic.

“We were very excited about

boro to Congresswoman Bonamici,”
said Serena Cruz, Executive Director of
