Rural Hospital Flexibility Act of 2025

This bill creates new Medicare grants to support rural hospitals and clinics. It provides funds for critical access hospitals to convert to rural emergency hospitals, expands eligibility for graduate medical education support to more rural hospitals (including sole community hospitals and those within 10 miles of them), and requires State Offices of Rural Health to offer technical assistance. The grants cover costs like staff training, software, and quality improvement programs. These changes directly affect critical access hospitals, rural health clinics, rural emergency hospitals, and other rural providers struggling with staffing and services.
