HEADs UP Act of 2025

The HEADs UP Act of 2025 would improve healthcare access for people with developmental disabilities by adding them to the list of medically underserved populations that health centers must serve. It authorizes $15 million annually from 2026 to 2030 to fund new primary care and specialized dental services through health centers in underserved areas. Health centers receiving these grants must use the funds to supplement, not replace, existing services for this population. The bill directly affects health centers serving underserved communities and the people with developmental disabilities who face barriers to healthcare.
