Community Paramedicine Act of 2025

HR 4011, the Community Paramedicine Act of 2025, creates a federal grant program to fund community paramedicine programs in rural areas. It provides grants to eligible entities - such as emergency medical services agencies, local governments, or Tribal organizations - to hire personnel, purchase equipment, cover training costs, and conduct outreach. The bill specifically reserves 15% of annual funding for programs serving Tribal communities and limits grants to $750,000 per entity (or $1.5 million for joint applications) over a maximum 5-year period. These programs aim to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits by using specially trained paramedics to address health issues and improve access to primary care for underserved populations.
