Take Action on the National Health Service Corps

Urge Your Representative to cosponsor H.R. 3862 to save and strengthen the NHSC. Email, tweet and/or call today!

TAKE ACTION NOW!

Members of the House of Representatives are back home in their districts this week but a vote on legislation that will decide the future of the National Health Service Corps is expected when they get back to Washington next week. Now may be our last, best chance to deliver our message to Save the NHSC! Representatives G.K. Butterfield (D-NC) and Chris Stewart (R-UT) have introduced H.R. 3862, the "National Health Service Corps Strengthening Act of 2017” which will not only preserve the Corps, but also proposes modest funding increases that will strengthen the field by enabling even more primary care providers to practice in underserved communities.  While this bill is encouraging, it does not offer any certainty that Congress will act quickly to resolve the NHSC funding cliff. We need every Member of Congress who supports the NHSC to cosponsor H.R. 3862.  While we hope you will send an email, please also make a call or tweet at them to have an even greater impact and let your Representative know how important the NHSC is to your community. Urge them to cosponsor H.R.3862. You can also find a public meeting near you to engage with your Representative in person. Ask them to support this legislation and sign on as a cosponsor.
