What we see at Ava Health
Rural Nebraska has some of the most severe primary care shortages in the Midwest — western Nebraska panhandle, the Sandhills, and the Republican River Valley are all heavily HPSA-designated. Omaha is a solid mid-sized market with UNMC driving academic demand. Nebraska is a natural Midwest corridor add-on license at $395 initial fee.
