H.R.8629

Developing the Community Health Workforce Act of 2026

Introduced·4/30/26

The Developing the Community Health Workforce Act of 2026 aims to enhance the health workforce in underserved areas.

The Developing the Community Health Workforce Act of 2026 seeks to improve access to care and health outcomes in rural and underserved communities by strengthening recruitment, training, and retention of the health center workforce. The bill amends the Public Health Service Act to allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to institutions of higher education, including community colleges and minority-serving institutions, to establish partnerships with health centers for training students in health professions.

The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
