On Wednesday, October 16th, 2024, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson visited Broward Community and Family Health Centers, Inc. (BCOM), to present a $225,000 check for the purchase of a mobile dental clinic van. The funding, secured through the Congressional Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2022, will enable BCOM to provide dental services to children and adults in the local community.
