Description Exhibit 48 identifies the locations of federally designated primary care, mental health and dental health, Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). A geographic area can be designated a HPSA if a shortage of primary medical care, dental care, or mental health care professionals is found to be present. In addition to areas and populations that can be designated as HPSAs, a health care facility can receive federal HPSA designation and an additional Medicare payment if it provides primary medical care services to an area or population group identified as having inadequate access to primary care, dental, or mental health services.

HPSAs can be: “(1) An urban or rural area (which need not conform to the geographic boundaries of a political subdivision, and which is a rational area for the delivery of health services); (2) a population group; or (3) a public or nonprofit private medical facility.”14

Observations

• Both Westside Family Healthcare and Henrietta Johnson Medical Center were HPSA designated Federally Qualified

Health Centers (FQHC) for primary care, mental health, and dental health professionals. • The low-income population of Newark and Wilmington have been designated as Primary Care and Dental Care HPSAs. • The low-income population of Newark and Stanton have been designated as Mental Health HPSA.
