## Summary

**This bill would create temporary **zero-percent loans** to help eligible rural hospitals replace, renovate, and improve facilities.** It targets very remote, long-standing critical access and rural emergency hospitals and pairs loans with technical-assistance grants to support financial stability. - People in remote communities gain a better chance to keep local emergency and primary care when hospitals can fund major repairs or replacements. - Eligible rural hospitals could receive zero-percent interest for the first 5 years and repay principal amortized over up to 40 years to build, replace, or renovate facilities. - Priority goes to the most remote hospitals and those serving high shares of Medicare, Medicaid, or self-pay patients; borrowers may also access technical assistance grants through HRSA and Rural Development programs.
