Tomorrow is National Doctor’s Day; it was created back in 1933 to honor the men and women who are filling our physician positions in our hospitals and doctor’s offices. But in recent years, we continue to see physician shortages. According to national data -- primary care shortages are one major driver. The National Center for Health Workforce Analysis projects that the U.S. will face a shortage of 68,020 primary care physicians by 2036. We spoke about this on a local level with Hartford HealthCare Dr. Dan Gottschall, VP of Medical Affairs Fairfield Region.
