Health Centers Renewal Act of 2008

To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide additional authorizations of appropriations for the health centers program under section 330 of such Act, and for other purposes.

6/4/2008--Passed House amended. Health Centers Renewal Act of 2008 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize appropriations for FY2008-FY2012 for health centers to meet the health care needs of medically underserved populations.
Authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to recognize the unique needs of high poverty areas in making grants for projects to plan and develop health centers to serve medically underserved populations.
Deems volunteer practitioners who provide medical services to patients at certain nonprofit health centers in underserved areas to be employees of the Public Health Service (thus extending the liability protections of the Federal Tort Claims Act to such practitioners).
Defines "volunteer practitioner" as a licensed physician, licensed clinical psychologist, or other licensed or certified health care practitioner in the state involved who provides services to patients of a health center without compensation or reimbursement at a health center site or a site designated by a health center.
Deems certain physicians or other licensed or certified health care practitioners to be employees of the Public Health Service for purposes of any civil action that may arise due to services provided:
(1) in an emergency area during an emergency or a disaster;
(2) by a contractor, volunteer practitioner, or an employee of a qualified health center; and
(3) under an arrangement with such a center or with a federal agency responsible for providing health services in the emergency area.
Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a demonstration project under which up to 30 qualifying integrated health systems receive grants for the costs of their operations to expand access to primary and preventive services for the medically underserved.
