This section states the goal of the law: to help states build and modernize nonprofit hospitals and medical facilities, encourage better kinds of facilities, and support research on how to run and use them effectively.

This section explains why this part of the law exists. It has three goals: (a) To help the states build and modernize public and other nonprofit community hospitals and other medical facilities they need — working alongside facilities that already exist — so that all their people can get adequate hospital, clinic, or similar care. (b) To encourage the development of new or better kinds of physical facilities for medical, diagnostic, preventive, treatment, or rehabilitation services. (c) To support research, experiments, and demonstration projects about how to effectively develop and use hospital, clinic, and similar services, facilities, and resources — and to help coordinate that research and put its useful results into practice.
