Authorizes affordable financing assistance for rural health centers facing financial distress.
The Rural Health Resilience Act of 2026 aims to authorize affordable financing assistance for rural health centers facing financial distress. The bill amends the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to establish a rural health care facility stabilization assistance program. This program allows the Secretary to provide loans and loan guarantees to prevent rural health centers from closing or reducing essential services. Eligible borrowers include health centers in financial distress, defined by indicators such as operating margin, cash reserves, and risk of service loss.
