Health Providers Training Act
HR 8681, the Health Providers Training Act, amends the Social Security Act to allow hospitals to apply for existing "health profession opportunity grants." This change directly affects hospitals (as defined in Section 1861(e) of the Social Security Act), making them eligible alongside community-based organizations for these federal grants. The bill does not create new funding but expands the current grant program's eligibility to include hospitals. The amendment takes effect on October 1, 2024.
