Recruitment of a Primary Care Workforce for New Hampshire

This program will recruit and retain primary care health professionals for New Hampshire, especially to community health centers and practices located in underserved and rural areas of the state. The resources from this project will allow health centers to continue to invest in increasing recruitment costs such as: Locum Tenens Coverage to maintain the level of primary health care services and reduce burnout of existing providers, recruitment placement fees, marketing and advertising costs, and costs of travel for candidate site visits and interviews. In addition to providing assistance with the health center's direct cost to recruit and retain health professionals, the New Hampshire Recruitment Center will use the resources from this project to boost outreach to primary care providers in practice and in training to increase the pool of primary care health professionals interested in working in New Hampshire.
