Dear Chair Collins, Vice Chair Murray, Chair Capito, and Ranking Member Baldwin:
On behalf of organizations dedicated to improving the health and well-being of children and adolescents, we write to thank you for your continued support of the Pediatric Specialty Loan Repayment Program (PSLRP, Public Health Service Act Sec. 775) and request $30 million in funding for PSLRP in the Senate Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), Education and Related Agencies (LHHSE) appropriations bill. This funding level will allow the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to ensure more communities have access to pediatric specialty care by expanding the number of loan repayment awards it is able to make.
