*: Physicians and Dentists are included in their primary practice county as well as in any county in which they have a secondary private
practice location. However, they are counted only once in state totals; therefore, the sum of the county totals will not equal the sum of the
state totals.
**: Totals for Respiratory Care Practioners include Federal employees.
