What it does
The bill would amend the Public Health Service Act to authorize funding for nutrition education and chronic disease prevention programs at federally qualified health centers, enabling them to integrate evidence-based nutrition services into primary care, train providers, and develop culturally appropriate materials. It prioritizes health centers serving populations with high rates of diet-related chronic disease, food insecurity, or nutrition-related disparities, and allows affiliations with academic medical centers to support implementation. Funds must supplement existing resources and cannot replace other funding, and the Secretary must submit annual reports to Congress on program use, outcomes, workforce training, and potential cost savings through fiscal year 2031.
