Pennsylvania Rep. Joyce Introduces Legislation to Support Rural Physicians

Rep. John Joyce (PA-13) introduced the “Specialty Physicians Advancing Rural Care (SPARC) Act,” which would create a student loan repayment program for rural doctors. “Rural communities throughout the country are facing a rising physician shortage, creating barriers to care for patients with already limited options,” said Rep. John Joyce, MD. “By creating a student loan repayment program for specialty physicians serving in rural areas, we can incentivize physicians and bridge the gap caused by the physician shortage.” Click here to learn more.
