Geriatrics Workforce Improvement Act

The Geriatrics Workforce Improvement Act seeks to reauthorize and provide dedicated funding for critical education and training programs focused on geriatrics. This legislation specifically amends Section 753(d) of the Public Health Service Act, which governs these vital programs. Under the proposed amendment, a sum of $48,245,000 is to be appropriated annually for each of the fiscal years 2026 through 2030 . This sustained funding aims to ensure the continued development and expansion of the healthcare workforce specializing in the care of older adults, thereby addressing the growing needs of the aging population.
