Trump’s First 100 Days and What’s to Come – Policy Updates for RHCs

Health policy has been a much discussed topic since the Trump Administration’s second term and the 119th Congress began just a few

months ago!

Currently, Members of Congress are debating reforms to the Medicaid program, President Trump recently released initial details of his FY26 budget proposal, and the Department of Health and Human Services is undergoing significant restructuring while making efforts to reduce regulatory burdens on providers.

How do all of these moving pieces impact Rural Health Clinics? Register here and let’s discuss!

We hope you’ll join the NARHC D.C. team for an upcoming webinar on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 2 PM ET where we will review the status of various policies and efforts and what’s to come.

Education and advocacy on behalf of the RHC program is more critical than ever, and we hope you’ll join us to learn about NARHC’s legislative and regulatory efforts and about how you can be involved!

This webinar will offer time for Q&A.

NARHC will be providing this webinar free of charge to NARHC members. Register Now!
