The celebration will take place on Rural Provider Recruitment Day established by Gov. Larry Hogan this year to recognize the Eastern Shore Area Health Education Center’s leadership and efforts to recruit, retain and train health care professionals for employment on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Congress established area health education centers in the 1970s to address shortages of health care providers, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and public health workers. Today, over 235 centers serve almost every state, including the Eastern Shore Area Health Education Center opened in 1997 to serve Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
