Bill overview
This bill, the Prioritizing Rural Hospitals Act, aims to support rural healthcare facilities by giving them priority in the USDA’s Community Facilities program. It allows funds from this program to be used for essential resources like medical supplies, expanding telehealth services, addressing staffing shortages, and renovating existing facilities. The bill specifically directs the USDA to prioritize healthcare and mental/behavioral health facilities when awarding loans and grants. A portion of guaranteed loan funds will also be set aside to further support these rural hospitals.
