Premier Urges Support for Children’s Hospital Graduate Medical Education Program

Premier joined 26 other healthcare organizations in sending a letter to House and Senate appropriators urging committee leaders to allocate $718.8 million in FY 2023 funding for the Children’s Hospital Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) program. This will help close the per-trainee funding gap that currently exists among federal programs supporting physician training. The increased funding is also urgently needed to bolster the workforce to ensure we can continue to take care of our nation’s children amidst the growing challenges of the children’s mental health crisis and the impacts of COVID-19.
