geographic (a county or service area), demographic (low income population) or
institutional (comprehensive health center, federally qualified health center
or other public facility). Medically Underserved Areas/Populations are areas or
populations designated by HRSA as having: too few primary care providers, high
infant mortality, high poverty and/or high elderly population.

NOTE: On Thursday November 3, 2011, the list of designated HPSAs was updated
to reflect the publication of the Federal Register Notice with the list of designated HPSAs as
of September 1, 2011. HPSAs that were designated after September 1, 2011 are considered designated
even though they are not on the federal register listing; HPSAs that have been placed in "proposed
for withdrawal" or "no new data" status since September 1, 2011 will remain in that status until the
publication of the next federal register notice. If there are any questions about the status of a
particular HPSA or area, we recommend that you contact the state primary care office in your state;
a listing can be obtained at http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/shortage/hpsas/primarycareoffices.html.
