11 PERSPECTIVES ON THE RURAL CRISIS The problem with physician shortages is they hurt vulnerable people first. The mismatch is between the boomers aging and the physician workforce aging out simultaneously. The hospital was a force holding the community together. Without it, I think this community will probably disintegrate. Bottom line, this discussion is about the economic vitality and long-term sustainability of rural communities. *Darrell Kirch, MD, President & CEO, Association of America Medical Colleges; Mahmood Saddiqui, MD, Internist; Alan Morgan, CEO, National Rural Health Associtiona 11

12 ECONOMIC IMPACT Adding one physician to a community of 10,000 people is associated with a 5.3% reduction in average mortality. Each physician supports 14 jobs and $2.2 million in economic input for a community. $ Each physician vacancy costs an average of $1 million in lost revenue per year.
