We advocate for nurse practitioners, physicians, physician assistants, and other specialty providers serving rural communities. Our goal is to strengthen rural healthcare by improving recruitment and retention of quality clinicians and expanding access to specialty care for underserved patients through sustainable practice support.
Current rural health workforce programs primarily focus on primary care, overlooking the critical need for specialty services in these same communities. Patients in rural areas often lack access to rheumatology, cardiology, nephrology, and other specialties—forcing them to travel long distances or go without care. We are calling for fair inclusion of specialty providers in rural workforce initiatives to help close these gaps and ensure all patients receive the care they need.
Support our mission by adding your name to our coalition and sharing our cause with others. Together, we can make a lasting difference in rural health care.
