Support for Health Centers to Address Patients' Social Needs.

This act aims to strengthen local health centers by enabling them to create support networks for patients. This will allow centers to help address issues like lack of transportation, food access, or neighborhood safety, directly improving citizens' quality of life and health.
Key points
Health centers will receive additional funds to establish "community transformation hubs" to assist patients with daily challenges.
These hubs will focus on improving access to transportation, food security, economic stability, education, and neighborhood safety.
Collaboration with local community organizations is intended to provide comprehensive support for those in need.
