U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown helped to secure the funding in a package passed by Congress earlier this month.
The funding was awarded to 51 community health centers across Ohio.
"Ohio community health centers and healthcare workers are on the front lines of this pandemic, and we need to ensure they have the resources they need to keep Ohioans healthy and safe," said Brown in a release.

"This funding is a good first step, but as I continue talking to healthcare workers across the state, I know more needs to be done. I'm committed to working with my colleagues in Congress to get our health officials the support and supplies that they need, and to ensuring a long-term funding solution for community health centers."
