U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer called for continued funding to community health centers.

He spoke Monday at Syracuse Community Health, saying federal funding is set to run out in a month for these type of health care facilities.

The Senate minority leader also believes they are battling payment system issues making it difficult to get their 80,000 local clients what they need.   

"Every day, we're hearing issues with our community health center. Funding delayed, funding not coming and it interferes with their effectiveness," Schumer said.
