house 09/17/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to establish a grant program that funds public colleges to train medical students specifically to serve as primary care doctors in Tribal, rural, and medically underserved communities. This aims to address the shortage of physicians in these areas by supporting education, community-based training, and partnerships that improve healthcare access.

Investing in rural and Tribal health means investing in equity; medicine shouldn't have zip codes.

Another government grant scheme; can’t wait to see how much waste balloons before it helps a single patient.
