In the midst of an economic recession, one rural community recognized the need to act and not sit idly by. HealthMatch, a community-based health recruitment economic development program, launched a $200,000 community-wide economic development capital campaign in January 2010 to help recruit and retain healthcare providers for a southwest Ulster County community and has exceeded the half-way point of its goal within a short three-month timeframe.
If you are a community in need of healthcare providers, or a healthcare provider looking for a practice opportunity in New York State, call us today to learn more about the unique services HealthMatch has to offer.
News: HealthMatch, a service of Catskill Hudson AHEC, has received funds totaling $200,000.00 from the Health Care Efficiency and Affordability Law for New Yorkers (HEAL NY) Grant Program.
