On March 25, 2025, Mayor Muriel Bowser requested the reprogramming of $1,434,396.80 in Fiscal Year 2025 Local Funds within the Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) to align the budgets of the Health Care Reform and Innovation Administration (HCRIA) and the Request for Telecom Services (RTS) with projected expenditures. This reallocation is crucial for supporting the opening of the Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center and ensuring that the budget accurately reflects the anticipated spending across various programs. The funds will be sourced from several account groups, including Contractual Services, Government Subsidies and Grants, and Purchases of Equipment and Machinery.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not negatively impact DHCF's budget or the District's financial plan. The reallocation is necessary to avoid delays in the medical center's opening and to ensure that expenditures are properly recorded. The resolution emphasizes the importance of these financial adjustments to support health care initiatives in the District, facilitating effective service delivery and operational readiness for the new medical center.
