Boone County faces doctor shortage with Medicare pressure
Boone County may see a worsening doctor shortage as Medicare rolls out this July. Dr. Robert Wiseheart of the Boone Medical Society notes new physicians are unlikely soon given competition from the federal system and residency demands. Current doctors total 11, about one per 3,000 residents, and retirement retirements loom as a Thorn Town physician departs July 1. The county’s aging population and Medicare eligibility of 1,500 residents add strain, with local physicians awaiting Blue Cross Blue Shield support and state-level planning.
