What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "HEADs UP Act of 2025," aims to amend the Public Health Service Act. It seeks to expand and improve health care services provided by health centers and the National Health Service Corps. Specifically, it adds individuals with a developmental disability to the definition of special medically underserved populations. The Act allows the Secretary to award grants to existing health centers to establish or operate new delivery sites. These sites would provide comprehensive primary health services, including dental care, tailored to this population. Finally, it authorizes specific funding for these services through the year 2030.
