Bill overview
This bill requires hospitals that relocate from underserved communities to maintain a minimum level of services, including professional departments, inpatient beds, and facilities, at their original location. The definition of an ‘underserved community’ is tied to population size, Medically Underserved Area designations, and an Index of Medical Underservice Score. The bill aims to ensure continued access to healthcare for residents of these communities during and after a hospital’s move.
