AI Summary
This bill establishes a Community Health Center Transformation Fund within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The fund will provide at least $15 million annually to community health centers that demonstrate financial need, as determined by factors such as negative operating margins, insufficient cash flow, or a high percentage of patients relying on public insurance or subsidized care. The Secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services will administer the fund and may require community health centers receiving funding to undergo independent financial and operational audits to improve their sustainability and efficiency.
