In a letter to Congress, Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) called attention to the association’s end of year priorities. CHA highlighted that it is critical Congress take action before the end of the year to sustain children's hospitals' ability to provide high-quality, timely, and appropriate care to our nation's children.
The letter asks Congress to:
- Pass the bipartisan Accelerating Kids Access to Care Act (H.R. 4758/S.2372).
- Prevent Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) cuts.
- Secure $758 million for the Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) program.
- Stop harmful policies that negatively impact access to care for children, like site neutrality and attacks on 340B.
- Ensure children's hospitals can participate in the Hospital at Home program.
