NYSHealth support will allow His Branches, Inc., to complete the process of converting its medical outreach program to full Article 28 Diagnostic and Treatment Facility status. In June 2006, the New York State Department of Health approved His Branches, Inc.’s, Certificate of Need application for conversion, subject to the completion of 11 contingencies. This grant will allow His Branches to complete the final contingency of paying one-time costs associated with the conversion.
