Advocacy

It is crucial that Congress support programs that seek to address growing health care crises in rural America. Relief is needed to address the unique needs of rural America through the FY2026 appropriations bills.  Rural health discretionary spending is a relatively small amount but is vitally important for maintaining access to care for individuals living in rural America. NRHA urges Congress to support our FY26 priority requests to significantly improve rural health care access and affordability.
