Bill Summary
A BILL To codify the Rural Hospital Technical Assistance Program of the Department of Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill codifies the existing Rural Hospital Technical Assistance Program of the Department of Agriculture. The bill establishes the program to provide technical assistance and training to eligible rural hospital facilities (including hospitals, critical access hospitals, and rural health clinics) in rural areas with a population of not more than 50,000 inhabitants. The goals of the program are to improve the financial and operational efficiency of these facilities, prevent their closure, strengthen rural healthcare delivery, and help them access and compete for USDA loans and grants. The Secretary of Agriculture is required to engage in outreach to encourage participation and prioritize selection of USDA borrowers and grantees. The bill also mandates annual reporting to Congress on the program's progress and outcomes.
