Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) are geographic areas, or populations within geographic areas, that lack sufficient health care providers to meet the health care needs of the area or population. HPSAs identify areas of greater need throughout the United States so that limited resources can be directed to those areas. Areas are designated as HPSAs by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) based on census tracts, townships, or counties. Designations are made for primary care, dental, and mental health.
