| Bi-State works with federal, state, and regional health policy organizations and policymakers, foundations, and payers to develop strategies, policies, and programs that promote and sustain community-based, primary health care services. With offices in Concord, New Hampshire, and Montpelier, Vermont, the organization provides advocacy, technical assistance, education and training, networking opportunities, and resource and information services. |
| Bi-State also operates a Recruitment Center that provides support, assistance and candidate referrals to federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, as well as private and hospital-sponsored physician practices throughout both Vermont and New Hampshire. The Recruitment Center focuses on the recruitment and retention of primary care providers including physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and dental hygienists. The staff is a resource for employers and candidates alike regarding the eligibility requirements and availability of recruitment incentive programs such as state educational loan repayment, Conrad State 30 and National Health Service Corps programs. |
