Premier and 23 other healthcare organizations sent a letter to House and Senate appropriators urging allocation of $1.02 billion in FY 2027 funding for the Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education program. The groups highlight that CHGME is a key federal investment in the pediatric workforce and notes that CHGME-supported hospitals train a majority of the nation's pediatricians and contribute significantly to growth in pediatric specialty care. The letter emphasizes that increased funding is needed to help address ongoing workforce shortages and support access to pediatric care nationwide.
