What we see at Ava Health
Kansas City metro (KS side) is active — KU Health's expansion is ongoing. Wichita has consistent demand for primary care and hospitalist. Rural western Kansas (Dodge City, Garden City, Liberal) is heavily underserved with geographic premiums and NHSC HPSA designations. Kansas borders MO, CO, OK, and NE — making it a natural addition to any Midwest multi-state locum portfolio.
