Improving Care in Rural America Reauthorization Act of 2025

What this does

This bill extends the authorization of appropriations for three rural health care grant programs under Section 330A of the Public Health Service Act, moving the funding window from 2021 through 2025 to 2026 through 2030. The programs are rural health care services outreach grants, rural health network development grants, and small health care provider quality improvement grants. The bill also adds a spending requirement to two of them. For outreach grants, it directs the grant-awarding Director to ensure funds serve the health care needs of rural underserved populations and involve those populations in running the project. For network development grants, it directs that funds increase those populations' access to care through integrated health networks and involve them in planning and operations. The House passed the bill on April 21, 2026.
