HRSA NHSC & NURSE Corps Clinician Workforce Site Monitor

Pull the official list of HRSA-approved clinical sites eligible for federal loan-repayment and scholarship programs — NHSC (National Health Service Corps), NURSE Corps, and STAR LRP — as clean, structured rows. Every site comes with its type, approval status, HPSA shortage scores, phone, email, full address, county FIPS, congressional district, and lat/lon, plus an optional state / program / site-type rollup.

Data source: HRSA Bureau of Health Workforce public ArcGIS server (gisportal.hrsa.gov → BHW/BHW_Sites). Keyless, public, refreshed by HRSA.

Who it's for

• Clinician & locum staffing agencies — NHSC/NURSE Corps sites are loan-repayment-eligible employers: warm recruiting leads for physicians, NPs, PAs, dentists, and behavioral-health clinicians who want their loans paid.
• Health-workforce planners & researchers — model provider supply, shortage (HPSA) exposure, and rural access by state, county, or congressional district.
• FQHC / RHC vendors & GPOs — a targeted list of safety-net facilities with contact info for outreach.
• Grant writers & policy teams — quantify program footprint and shortage severity across geographies.

Example input

{
  "state": "California",
  "program": "NHSC",
  "siteType": "FQHC",
  "ruralOnly": false,
  "minHpsaScore": 15,
  "includeSummary": true,
  "maxResults": 5000
}

Leave everything blank to pull all NHSC sites nationwide. Set program to NurseCorps or STAR for those program lists. state accepts a full name ("California") or a 2-letter code ("CA", "PR", "GU").

Output fields

One row per site (record_type: "site"): site_id, site_name, program, site_type, site_status, cross-program flags (nhsc_*, nursecorps_*, star_*), address, city, county, county_fips, state, state_abbrev, zip, phone, fax, email, hpsa_primary_care, hpsa_dental, hpsa_mental_health, rural_status, region, cong_district_code, cong_district_name, census_tract, latitude, longitude.

With includeSummary: true, one extra record_type: "summary" row is appended with total_sites, sites_with_email, sites_with_phone, rural_sites, and counts by_state, by_site_type, and by_site_status.

Use as an MCP tool

This Actor is callable by AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) via mcp.apify.com. The field-level output descriptions make it a clean, chainable tool — e.g. "list active NHSC FQHC sites in Texas with a primary-care HPSA score above 18 and return their phone and email."

FAQ

Where does the data come from? HRSA's public Bureau of Health Workforce ArcGIS service (BHW/BHW_Sites). No API key required.

What's the difference between NHSC, NURSE Corps, and STAR? They are three HRSA loan-repayment/scholarship programs; each has its own list of approved sites. Pick one via the program input. Each returned row also carries the other programs' type/status flags so you can cross-reference.

What is an HPSA score? A Health Professional Shortage Area score (0-26) rates how severe the provider shortage is at that location — higher means more underserved and higher loan-repayment priority. Filter with minHpsaScore.

How do I get a downloadable clinician-recruiting lead list? Filter by state and siteType, run, then export the dataset as CSV/Excel/JSON.

Does it cover territories? Yes — Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands appear when present in HRSA's data.

Notes & caveats

• Coverage = whatever HRSA currently publishes in BHW/BHW_Sites; site rosters change as programs re-approve sites.
• This layer does not expose a per-site "date added" field, so the Actor ships a program/state/type/status rollup rather than a date-based new-since delta. For change tracking, schedule the Actor and diff dataset snapshots on site_id.
• Email is only present when HRSA publishes it (not every site).
