Northeast Ohio is beginning to feel the pinch of a looming doctor shortage as the population, and doctors themselves, age. It's not a new problem. Warnings of physician shortages have been issued for years and deficits in urban and rural areas are commonplace. What's actually being done now to address the issue?
