Gov. Gavin Newsom, alongside members of the California Legislature, signed the Distressed Hospital Loan Program bill into law on May 15, which will provide aid to struggling California hospitals.

The $150 million program provides zero-interest loans to nonprofit or public hospitals experiencing extreme financial distress and will help struggling hospitals remain open or assist hospitals that have closed to reopen their doors.
