Bill overview
The Public Health Nursing Act aims to bolster the public health nursing workforce in the United States by establishing a grant program within the Department of Health and Human Services. This program will provide funding to state, local, and territorial public health departments to recruit, hire, and train registered nurses, particularly those serving medically underserved areas and focusing on maternal and infant health. The legislation prioritizes grant recipients based on the needs of vulnerable populations and encourages culturally appropriate service delivery.
