Moderate-burden reading for Logan County
Peak severity leads this reading: Logan County's highest active HPSA score is 17.0, clearing HRSA's 17-point high-priority line. Primary care is where Logan County is stretched thinnest: HRSA scores it 17.0 of 25, the county's highest severity reading and past the 17-point line HRSA uses to open National Health Service Corps placement and enhanced Medicare reimbursement. Mental health reads 13.0 of 25; Dental care reads 7.0 of 26. The county also sits inside a Medically Underserved Area, indexed at 61.0, and the lower the index, the greater the measured need.
Logan County sits in the middle of the national designation-volume distribution (above 47% of counties) with 5 active records. That is enough for a formal shortage footprint without landing in the heaviest US tier. Compare the three discipline counts (3/1/1) before assuming every care category is equally short.
Logan County falls in the lower half of OK counties by active-designation volume, at rank 53 of 77. For moderate counties, the useful move is usually a state peer check plus the score cards above, not a national superlative claim.
