The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the final FY12 appropriations bill that includes $2.5 million (minus a 0.189% cut across the board cut for all programs in the bill) for the Health Research and Service Administration's Rural and Community Access to Emergency Devices Program. The final bill passed the House and Senate and is now waiting for the President's signature.
"We commend everyone who was involved in advocating for this important measure," said Mary Newman, President of the SCA Foundation and Co-Chair of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Coalition.
