PRO-HEAL Act of 2024

The PRO-HEAL Act of 2024 establishes a federal grant program to expand health care provider training pipelines. It authorizes $215 million (2025-2029) for competitive grants to states and institutions of higher education to create or expand programs training medical doctors, nurses, physician assistants, behavioral health providers, and other health professionals. Priority is given to programs serving rural/underserved communities, focusing on primary care, or recruiting locally. Grantees must report annually on program demographics, admission rates, and outcomes, with 25% of funds reserved for specific higher education institutions. The bill directly affects health care training programs across all states and territories, aiming to address workforce shortages.
