"We could never have justified setting aside $30,000 in hopes of getting a doctor. Not when it could pay a salary or offset the cost of services. We were struggling even with the idea of paying relocation fees for a potential physician and then the Community Incentive arrived like an answer to a prayer. I urge all Tennessee CHCs to engage with the Center. Get their help with recruiting clinicians and apply for the Community incentive."

Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center
"Each and every physician placement is a special event for the Tennessee Center for Health Workforce Development. Each placement truly changes the face of the community where the clinician goes to practice. Such tremendous success is a cause for celebration. The Center is truly living up to its mission by helping to change the lives and health of Tennesseans."

Professor, UT Family Medicine Center
"I came out of medical school and residency more than $300,000 in debt. Despite that, I wanted to establish my practice in a small town like my North Georgia hometown which had fewer than 2,000 people and no local pediatrician. The Residency Stipend money changed my family's life. It offset my loans and allowed us to focus on getting a house and building a family. The Center really helped me get settled in Tullahoma and weâre planning on staying here probably for the rest of our lives."
