We have received text from H.R. 10824: Stroke Education and EMS Care Improvement Act of 2026. This bill was received on 2026-10-15, and currently has 3 cosponsors.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a nationwide program to improve how emergency medical services (EMS) personnel are trained to recognize and respond to strokes.

What the program would do

• Within 2 years of enactment, HHS would establish a National Standardized EMS Stroke Education Program .
• The program would create a standard, evidence-based stroke curriculum for EMS clinicians such as paramedics, EMTs, and first responders.
• The training would focus on:
  • recognizing stroke symptoms,
  • managing stroke patients before they reach the hospital,
  • using stroke severity scales, and
  • deciding where patients should be transported, including to certified stroke centers.
• The curriculum would also include interactive case studies and real-world examples.

How it would be carried out

• HHS would consult with federal agencies and medical and EMS organizations when developing the program.
• The department would be allowed to make competitive grants to state and local EMS agencies to help them implement the training.
• Priority for funding would go to agencies serving underserved and rural areas, especially places that have trouble accessing stroke education.
• The bill also says the program should be available through online training, telemedicine support, and other digital tools for remote areas.

Oversight and reporting

• HHS would set up a system to track how the program is working.
• That system would measure things like:
  • how many EMS clinicians are trained,
  • changes in time to treatment,
  • patient mortality rates,
  • how many patients are transferred to stroke centers, and
  • state-by-state differences in stroke care.
• HHS would have to submit a report to Congress within 2 years and then every year after that, including an assessment of the program and suggestions for changes.

Funding

• The bill would authorize whatever money is needed to carry out the program for fiscal years 2027 through 2032.
