BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — On Monday Congressman Brian Higgins announced that $2 million has been secured in the federal 2023 budget for People Inc. to expand and improve telehealth services
According to Higgins, People Inc.’s telehealth service is "designed to support a patient’s ability to live independently while promoting better individual outcomes and overall wellness."
“We know that access to routine and preventative services is a determining factor in health and well-being. People with disabilities have unique needs and circumstances, creating additional hurdles to connecting with quality care. This funding for People Inc. will break through health access barriers for families, improving wellness and life quality for the people of Western New York.”

“We are so appreciative of Congressman Higgins for securing this funding, which will help People Inc. to greatly expand the impactful work clinicians are providing to people, their families and caregivers. As we continue to focus on increasing access to care and removing health-care barriers, this grant will allow further opportunities to offer expert, face-to-face care to vulnerable people right in their homes.”
