ITHACA -- The Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce has been awarded a $30,000 grant from the Community Service Society of New York through its outreach program to help serve the small business community through a new Small Business Assistance Program.
The Tompkins Chamber is one of 13 organizations that will form a statewide network to provide outreach and assistance to small businesses in their communities regarding access to health care and health insurance, according to a news release from the Chamber. Community Health Advocates, the Community Service Society's outreach program, operates a similar program throughout the state that helps individual consumers find and use health coverage and care.
"This grant will allow us to reach more small businesses across Tompkins County with accurate and timely information about health insurance and access to health care," Jean McPheeters, president of the Tompkins Chamber, said in a statement. "It's a great honor to be a part of this system and to help form the SBAP."
