(The Center Square) — U.S. Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Arizona, is sponsoring a bipartisan bill to address staffing shortages at the Veterans Health Administration.

The Health Professionals Scholarship Program Improvement Act of 2025 would amend Section 7616 of Title 38 and “enhance the educational occupational program to address staffing shortages” within the VHA. The bill was approved Wednesday by the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee.
