Rural Health Innovation Act of 2026 establishes grants for rural health centers and departments.

The Rural Health Innovation Act of 2026 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 Rural Health Center Innovation Awards Program provides grants to eligible entities to establish or maintain Federally qualified health centers or rural health clinics. Grants are awarded for up to five years, with amounts varying based on whether the entity is already a Federally qualified health center or rural health clinic.
