The Courier's local section has a front-page story on the Plainfield Health Center receiving a $48,000 grant from the Horizon Foundation for NJ.
According to the story, the grant will be used to upgrade computer equipment (said to be 15 years old!) and --
...enhance operations and services, and support the expansion of the health center into two new service areas, Newton and Phillipsburg.PHC provides invaluable health care services to residents in the tri-county area and anything that helps it strengthen its organization and improve the delivery of services is certainly good news.
However, rumors continue to circulate that the organization is in fiscal difficulties and that layoffs and restructuring are in the works -- perhaps even as early as August.
Let's hope that is not the case.

dan, layoffs aren't the only things people are talking about. its hard to hear that several people went to Puerto Rico for a meeting all expenses paid when the Center is facing money troubles.
What a crock as a former employee of the Plainfield Health Center I know positively the system is not 15 years old. They were always buying computers and blackberry's for the admin. staff. How they duped the Horizon foundation is pretty pitiful. Instead of buying a flat screen television for the CEO they should have been buying equipment.
