CORTEZ MASTO, MULLIN INTRODUCE BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN DOCTORS

Press Release

"I am confident this legislation will address the current difficulty IHS is facing in recruiting and retaining health care professionals. Rural health care providers like IHS have unique staffing needs, and this amendment to the IHS scholarship and loan service obligation offers a flexible, cost-effective solution to ensure IHS maintains a competitive edge when considering new recruits. Further, part-time clinical practices offer new opportunities for those who are also considering private practice or have the additional responsibility of administrative tasks. In strengthening the workforce, IHS can ensure a proper quality of care to their patients and improve patient outcomes."
