Rural Telehealth and Education Enhancement Act of 2025

This bill continues a U.S. Department of Agriculture program that helps rural communities get the tools and training they need for telehealth and online learning. It keeps the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Program going through fiscal year 2030, so small towns can keep improving internet connections, equipment, and skills for doctors, nurses, teachers, and students. The measure is called the Rural Telehealth and Education Enhancement Act of 2025 and it extends the existing grant program that supports technology and training for telemedicine and distance learning in rural areas.

What this means for everyday people: more access to virtual doctor visits and stronger online education options where services are hard to reach. Grants can help schools and clinics buy equipment, set up services, and train staff so care and classes are easier to get close to home.

• Who is affected: rural patients, families, students, teachers, and health providers
• What changes: the existing program is reauthorized (continued) to keep funding grants for technology and training
• When: through fiscal year 2030
