Prioritizing Rural Hospitals Act aims to prioritize health care and mental health facilities in rural areas for funding from 2026 to 2031.
The Prioritizing Rural Hospitals Act seeks to enhance access to health care in rural areas by prioritizing health care facilities and mental or behavioral health facilities for direct loans and grants from the Community Facilities program between fiscal years 2026 and 2031. These funds can be used for medical supplies, increasing telehealth capabilities, supporting staffing needs, or renovating and remodeling closed facilities. The Act also prohibits national reprioritizations within the Community Facilities program during this period.
