HRSA Being Absorbed into New 'Administration for a Healthy America' — 25% of Staff Already Departed
HRSA is being merged into the new Administration for a Healthy America (AHA) alongside SAMHSA, ATSDR, and NIOSH. Approximately 700+ employees (25% of staff) have departed since February, including grant managers, auditors, and compliance analysts.
The FY2026 budget proposes eliminating HRSA as a standalone agency. This directly impacts OSV scheduling, 340B audits, and Health Center Program compliance oversight. FQHCs may face delayed operational site visits, slower conditions-of-award processing, and reduced technical assistance.
