Many smaller hospitals share a common challenge - recruiting quality physicians, and retaining them in the community. Too many of hospitals have suffered from the "Doctor's Revolving Door Syndrome" - bright motivated physicians move to town, work hard, but after a few years they leave - overworked, discouraged, and unhappy. The cycle starts all over again - recruit a new physician and hope they stay.

Docs Who Care is a group of doctors that has partnered with the Harrison County Community Hospital to provide the hospital with more staff to cover hospital needs and allow the local doctors more time at their own clinics and with their families.

Docs Who Care will establish a full-time equivalent family practice group at the Harrison County Community Hospital. The current physicians are, Dr. Paul Wardlaw, Dr. Christopher Best, Dr. Richard Kimmell, Dr. Charles Sciolaro, and Dr. Paul Schleicher will permanently staff the clinic and emergency room, in addition to a local doctor; Dr. Terry Hall.  Each doctor will work one-to-two full weeks per month.

Though there are many reasons why doctors come and go, the major stress factor for a physician in a small community is the necessity of providing Emergency Room coverage. Physicians are more than willing to commit to a challenging private practice that includes a full schedule of clinic patients, while maintaining a busy inpatient service in the local hospital. However, fewer and fewer doctors are willing to take call for ER patients. After a very busy day of making rounds and seeing patients in the office, most doctors want to go home to their families, without the responsibility of covering the ER.
