Rural Health Innovation Act of 2025 establishes grants for rural health centers and departments.

The Rural Health Innovation Act of 2025 amends the Public Health Service Act to create two grant programs: the Rural Health Center Innovation Awards program and the Rural Health Department Enhancement program. The former awards grants to eligible entities to establish or maintain Federally qualified health centers or rural health clinics. The latter awards grants to rural health departments to enhance their capabilities and services. Both programs aim to improve healthcare access in rural areas by providing funds for equipment, staffing, and facility improvements.
