Lawrence Faces Slow Gain in Recruiting Family Physicians
Lawrence struggles to recruit family physicians amid a long term primary care shortage. From 2008 to 2013 the count of family practice and internal medicine doctors rose only by one each. Sherri Vaughn, recruiter for Lawrence Memorial Hospital, warns the task remains daunting as doctors retire move part time or leave the area while Douglas County is already deemed to have an inadequate supply for low income and Medicaid populations. Hospitalists increased from seven to ten, a level Vaughn deems adequate.
