health professional shortage areas (hpsas)

Why is there a Nursing Shortage in HPSAs?

Several factors contribute to the nursing shortage in HPSAs. These include an aging population requiring more healthcare services, a growing number of nurses reaching retirement age, and insufficient educational capacity to train new nurses. Additionally, rural and underserved urban areas often struggle to attract and retain healthcare professionals due to factors like lower salaries, limited professional development opportunities, and fewer resources.
