Every federally funded health center sitting in an official shortage area, ranked by how badly it needs providers — a pre-qualified BD target list with the talking points included.
Set a State and optionally a Discipline — the three provider types the federal shortage program tracks: Primary Care, Mental Health, and Dental Health. Recruiting psychiatrists? Filter to Mental Health and every result is an employer with a certified mental-health shortage. Min HPSA score keeps only the more severe shortages (see the table below), and Center type splits full FQHCs from Look-Alikes.
Results sort by the BD score (0–100) in the blue circle: shortage severity blended with how many providers the employer is actually missing, scaled up for multi-site organizations, with small boosts for FQHC status, an underserved-county location, and a designation that's new or was updated in the last year (fresh pain = good timing). The amber chips show each certified shortage with its severity score and, where HRSA publishes it, the number of full-time providers needed.
Every card ends with BD talking points — the recruiting angles the data supports: shortage-area hires may qualify for federal loan repayment (NHSC) and J-1/Conrad 30 visa waivers, and FQHCs typically carry Medicare bonus payments and 340B drug savings. Those programs make your candidates cheaper to hire and easier to close — lead with that.

| Term | Plain English |
|---|---|
| BD score | NPivot's 0–100 ranking of the employer as a prospect. It rises with shortage severity and unmet provider need, scales with organization size, and gets small boosts for FQHC status, MUA/P-county overlap, and a recent designation. It ranks opportunity — it is not a federal number. |
| HPSA · score 18 | A Health Professional Shortage Area — a place, population, or facility the government has certified as short on providers. The score is federal severity: higher = worse. Primary Care and Mental Health run 0–25, Dental Health 0–26; scores in the high teens+ get priority for federal hiring programs. |
| 4.2 FTE short | How many full-time providers the federal model says are missing from that shortage area. A measure of unmet need in the area the employer serves — not that employer's own job postings. |
| FQHC | Federally Qualified Health Center — a community clinic funded by HRSA to serve underserved areas, with enhanced Medicare/Medicaid payment and 340B drug-discount eligibility. A Look-Alike meets the same standards and keeps most benefits but doesn't receive the federal grant. |
| MUA/P county | At least one of the organization's counties carries a Medically Underserved Area/Population designation — a second, county-level federal underservice marker on top of any HPSA. |
| Sites · States | How many service locations the organization runs, and where. One card = one employer (the parent organization), not one clinic — a 20-site system is one prospect with one phone call to make. |
| CCN / NPI | The organization's federal IDs: the CMS Certification Number (Medicare's facility ID — when present, the name links to the full facility profile) and the National Provider Identifier. Useful for matching exports against your own account lists. |
