Conrad 30 Waiver included in immigration bill provisions
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bipartisan immigration bill last week which included significant provisions for physicians and nurses, including a provision that would permanently reauthorize the Conrad 30 Waiver program.
The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) supports the Conrad 30 Waiver Program, which makes great strides in the recruitment of physicians to rural areas and the delivery of vital health care services in rural America. This program will help hospitals, clinics and group practices increase access to health care in rural America.
NRHA will continue to support all programs that expand access to all health care providers in rural America.
