The Rural Hospital Revitalization Act of 2026 is designed to support rural hospitals by offering them temporary zero-percent interest loans to help construct new facilities or renovate existing ones. This initiative aims to ensure that these hospitals can continue providing essential healthcare services to their communities, particularly in areas facing significant healthcare access challenges. The Act establishes a loan program specifically for eligible rural hospitals, which must be located in counties with populations under 20,000 and meet certain distance criteria from other hospitals.
