Summary

The Rural Health Center reported that it had not yet found a second health-care provider despite contacting ten nearby nurse-practitioner programs and posting the position through several channels. Relief help had been obtained for the spring and summer, and the public was asked to help spread the recruitment notice.

Evidence limits

This is a reported recruitment status, not a complete staffing roster, employment file, credential record, or proof of the eventual hire.
