Wichita medical service group to get $25,000 from city

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A network that provides medical services to low-income and uninsured residents in Wichita will receive an additional $25,000 after its budget was initially cut by the city and county.

The Wichita Eagle reports the Wichita City Council unanimously approved the funds for Project Access on Tuesday.

Project Access, which has donated $170 million in medical care since it was started in 1999, receives its city funding from a City Services Grant, which is distributed by the Kansas Housing Resources Corp.

The grant has decreased over the years, which led to a $25,000 cut for Project Access in the upcoming fiscal year.
