Davis (D-IL) and Representative Jenniffer González-Colón (R-PR) led a bipartisan group of Representatives in reintroducing legislation to modernize the Health Profession Opportunity Grant (HPOG) program to better support low-income workers as they seek training and education for in-demand health care careers.
