We advocate for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and specialty providers serving rural communities. Our goal is to expand rural healthcare access by encouraging recruitment and retention through improved loan forgiveness options and sustainable practice support.
Access to specialty care in rural America is dangerously limited—not because people don’t need care, but because specialty providers are not being recruited or retained in these communities. While programs exist to support primary care providers who commit to working in rural or underserved areas, those same opportunities are not extended to specialists like rheumatologists, cardiologists, or endocrinologists.
We are asking for equity in how rural service incentives are applied. Nurse practitioners and physicians in specialty fields are often just as critical—and just as scarce—as primary care providers in these regions. By expanding eligibility for these rural service programs, we can help ensure that all patients, regardless of location, have access to 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.
