AOA Supports HR 1884 to End Exclusion of ODs in NHSC and Expand Access to Eye Care in Underserved Communities

The American Optometric Association (AOA) urges Congress to pass HR 1884, a bi-partisan bill to end the misguided exclusion of doctors of optometry from the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) student loan repayment and scholarship programs. The NHSC provides loan forgiveness and incentives to attract providers to health professional shortage areas. HR 1884, sponsored by Reps. Bart Gordon (D-TN) and Joe Pitts (R-PA), will expand access to eye and vision care in medically underserved communities across the country.
