ASCLS recently joined 66 other healthcare associations and signed on to requesting that Congress reauthorize the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Title VII and Title VIII funding. This letter was sent to House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie (R-KY) and Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NJ), as well as Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chair Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Ranking Member Bernie Sanders (I-VT), urging quick action.
The letter states, “HRSA’s Title VII and VIII programs are all essential in educating current and future providers to work across the country, advancing new delivery systems, and enhancing interprofessional and integrated models of care.”
