AI Summary

This bill provides $2 million in state funding from the General Fund to the Department of Public Health for fiscal year 2026, specifically to establish a center of excellence for neuromodulation treatment for veterans. The funding will be granted to Hartford HealthCare Rehabilitation Medicine Network, which will collaborate with The University of Connecticut to create this specialized medical center. Neuromodulation is a medical technology that involves altering nerve activity through targeted delivery of electrical stimulation or chemical agents to specific neurological sites in the body, and in this context, the center will focus on developing and providing advanced treatment options specifically designed for veterans. The goal is to create a dedicated medical facility that can provide innovative neurological treatments to support veterans' health and potentially address conditions like chronic pain, neurological disorders, or mental health challenges that are common among military service members.
