DEPARTMENT of HEALTH and HUMAN SERVICES Fiscal Year 2022 Health Resources and Services Administration Justification of Estimates for Appropriations Committees MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR I am pleased to present the fiscal year (FY) 2022 Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Budget. HRSA is the primary Federal agency for improving health outcomes and achieving health equity through access to quality services, a skilled health workforce, and innovative, high-value programs. The FY 2022 Budget provides $12.6 billion to build upon investments already made to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and invest in programs that improve equitable access to health care for people that are medically underserved, geographically isolated, and economically vulnerable. The FY 2022 Budget request: • Supports the Health Center program, an essential source of high quality, value based primary health care services in underserved communities • Invests critical resources to help address the opioid crisis and other substance use and mental health challenges, including funding to expand the behavioral health provider workforce • Commits to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic by increasing access to treatment, expanding use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (also known as PrEP), and ensuring equitable access to services and supports • Provides funding to increase the diversity of the healthcare workforce to ensure that clinicians reflect the communities and populations they serve and individuals from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds have equitable access to careers in the health field • Funds evidence-based interventions to address critical gaps in maternity care service delivery, improve maternal health outcomes, and reduce maternal mortality, including by ending race-based disparities • Protects rural healthcare access by increasing funding for rural healthcare providers and rural residency programs These investments are critical in order to protect the health and well-being of the American people, and achieve this Administration’s health equity objectives.
