Congressman Rodney Davis met with hospital and healthcare leaders this week in Springfield to discuss the nationwide doctor and nurse shortage. 

The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that we will face a shortage of somewhere between 40,000 to 120,000 physicians and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) predicts a shortage of 150,000 Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) by 2030. Davis says America isn't doing enough to produce the next generation of doctors and nurses...

Davis also believes hospitals can help themselves...

Davis is pursuing multiple pieces of legislation to deal with the shortage.
