New grants would bring diabetes treatment and prevention services to underserved urban and rural communities.
This bill would create a new grant program to help bring diabetes treatment and prevention services to people in urban and rural areas that don't have enough medical care. Public and nonprofit health providers could apply for these grants to offer routine care, education, and specialized treatments like eye and foot care for diabetic patients. The program would be authorized to receive funding from the government's budget year 2026 through 2031.
Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program focused on providing comprehensive diabetes treatment in medically underserved urban and rural communities. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services would be able to offer grants to public and nonprofit health care providers to deliver a range of diabetes services, including routine care, education, and specialized treatments, starting in the government's budget year 2026.
