Gov. Reynolds issues statement on HF 972 passing House and Senate
DES MOINES— Today, Gov. Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to HF 972, her rural healthcare bill that increases residency slots and strengthens maternal health, passing both the House and Senate with bipartisan support:
“Access to quality healthcare is vital for Iowans in every corner of our state,” Gov. Reynolds said. “We have challenges, but we have a strong foundation on which to build. With the passage of this bill, we give physicians more reason to practice in our state by increasing residency slots in Iowa’s 14 teaching hospitals. We’ll strengthen our maternal health system by investing over $640,000 into unbundled Medicaid maternal rates and providing more rate flexibility. And we will streamline the process to approve medical facilities. This is an incredible win for Iowans. I look forward to signing this bill once it reaches my desk.”
