Justification: HRSA received additional funding for the Rural
Hospital Stabilization Pilot Program in FY 2026 through the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr7148/BILLS-119hr7148enr.pdf">https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr7148/BILLS-119hr7148enr.pdf</a>), H.R. 7148. This funding will
provide one-time supplements to the Rural Health Resource Center and
the Rural Health Redesign Center Organization, Inc to strengthen
healthcare delivery in rural areas by providing free in-depth TA to
more rural hospitals nationwide to enhance service lines, improve
financial performance, and stabilize operations. The grant recipient
will use funding to ramp up operations to identify and work with rural
hospitals that will benefit from TA to meet the following program
objectives: (1) identify clinical areas where expansion would meet
local medical need, help keep health care services available locally
and improve hospital finances, and (2) implement new service lines by
providing support for initial operating and equipment costs that
provide participating hospitals the ability to build up patient volume
for the new service line to
[[Page 57900]]
eventually become self-sustaining operations.

Administrator.
