description:  Procurement services is an integral part of the HPA government relations department. Our staff is trained in contract and grant writing. We have secured federal and state funding for a number of non-profit and local governments to assist the underserved populations in Pennsylvania. We help our clients help their members, patients or constituents by providing the necessary funding for programs and projects. "Each state and federal agency has different policies and procedures that must be followed in the application process," Linda Rhinehart noted. "Knowing how to coordinate the goals of the client with the procurement systems is the key to successfully obtaining funding."
