Bill overview
Senate Bill 1118 allocates $3 million from the state’s general fund to the Department of Health Services to create a grant program. This program will help rural hospitals in Arizona purchase and install radiation protection systems, specifically shielding systems, in their cardiac catheterization rooms. These systems are designed to protect healthcare professionals from radiation exposure during real-time x-ray imaging procedures. The bill defines ‘rural hospital’ as a licensed hospital in a county with a population under one million.
