As the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the state, it strikes a balance between affordability and value.

One of Joplin's standout features is its proximity to home. Beautiful neighborhoods lie within a convenient 5-10 minute drive from the clinic and hospital, allowing physicians to spend more time where they belong with loved ones.
