Workforce Innovation Act Introduced

Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) recently introduced S.4957, the Health Workforce Innovation Act, which would provide federal funding for health center-led workforce development partnerships with high schools and community colleges. A similar bipartisan bill, H.R.7307, was introduced in the House of Representatives earlier this year. We encourage health center advocates, particularly those in Republican districts, to reach out to their senators and representatives to co-sponsor these bills to ensure Congressional support for this legislation remains strongly bipartisan.
