HR 5984 United States House · 118th Congress

Streamline Emergency Care Act

The Streamline Emergency Care Act provides $20 million annually (2024-2028) for grants to nonprofit hospitals and clinics already operating emergency rooms. Grants, capped at $500,000 each, fund hiring staff, purchasing modern equipment, or training existing personnel to improve ER capacity and efficiency. The program requires grantees to use funds solely for these operational improvements and mandates a congressional report on the program's effectiveness by 2027. This directly affects eligible nonprofit emergency care providers seeking to enhance their facilities' responsiveness.
