Amends the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize appropriations for FY2008-FY2012 for health centers to meet the health care needs of medically underserved populations. Requires the Comptroller General to study the economic costs and benefits of school-based health centers and their impact on the health of students, including an analysis of:(1) the impact that federal funding could have on the operation of such centers;
(2) any cost savings to other federal programs derived from providing health services in such centers; and
(3) the impact of such centers in rural or underserved areas.
Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to submit a report to the relevant congressional committees that describes efforts to expand and accelerate quality improvement activities in community health centers.
Requires the Administrator to establish a mechanism for the dissemination of initiatives, best practices, and other information that may assist health care quality improvement efforts in community health centers. Directs the Comptroller General to study:
(1) integrated health system models for the delivery of health care services to medically underserved and uninsured populations; and

Includes the District of Columbia and U.S. territories as eligible jurisdictions under a grant program for states to provide educational loan repayment to health professionals in exchange for the provision of primary health services in health professional shortage areas.
