Improving Care in Rural America Reauthorization Act of 2025
This bill reauthorizes three existing grant programs under the Public Health Service Act, extending their funding period from 2026 to 2030 (previously 2021-2025). It directly affects rural health care providers and underserved communities by requiring grant funds to specifically address their health needs and involve them in project planning and operations. Key provisions mandate that outreach grants help meet local rural health needs, network development grants must create integrated care systems benefiting rural populations, and all programs must ensure community involvement in planning and implementation. The bill does not create new programs but updates requirements for existing ones to better serve rural areas with limited health access.
