"We’re not training enough physicians in this State and in this Country. Secondly they’re headed towards the same baby boomer cycle the rest of us are and thirdly they’re under threat as far as their income. When you have, let’s say, a family practitioner making less than $100,000 a year. He’s a small businessman having to take all those risks, the attractiveness goes away. "

- Ed Epperson President and CEO Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare on the need to support physicians.
