A grant from Skowhegan Savings Bank will allow Penobscot Community Health Care to make needed upgrades at its Jackman Community Health Center over the next five years, as it continues to develop a pilot health care program for the northern Somerset County town.
The $25,000 grant is the bank s third in Jackman and supports Bangor-based PCHC s efforts to improve health care access for the remote area.
