Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Reauthorization

Summary

The bill lengthens the federal demonstration program that supports rural community hospitals from a 15‑year to a 20‑year period. It also lets hospitals that joined the program after it started receive the same extension benefits during the fourth five‑year segment. The change is meant to keep more rural hospitals financially viable for a longer time.
