Open Enrollment for CAHs for National Health Service Corps

The National Health Service Corps is excited to announce that Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) may now apply to become an NHSC approved site. To apply, please visit here and click on the “Become an NHSC Site. Apply Here.” button. As part of the online application, you will be asked to select your site type. Please note you can find “Critical Access Hospital” under the “Other Health Facility” option on the list. By becoming an NHSC-approved site, you will gain the ability to recruit NHSC primary care providers in communities with limited access to care. In order to be eligible, CAHs must be aligned with an outpatient setting and must engage in primary health care and related inpatient services. For more information about the Corps, site eligibility, and what it means to be an approved site, we encourage you to review the updated NHSC Service Site Reference Guide and Frequently Asked Questions document, which can be accessed at this site.
