CHOOSE JOPLIN

Nestled in the picturesque Ozarks of Southwest Missouri, Joplin offers an exceptional quality of life. As the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the state, it strikes a balance between affordability and value. With a population of 52,000 (which swells to over 250,000 during work hours), Joplin serves as a vibrant hub for economic, health, and cultural activities across multiple communities in the four-state region.

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. For those seeking an active lifestyle, Joplin delivers. Golf, tennis, gyms, running, and scenic hikes along the chert bluffs provide ample opportunities to stay fit and engaged.

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to nearby streams and lakes, perfect for fishing, kayaking, and boating. Families with young learners can choose from a variety of educational options, including public, private, and parochial schools, as well as local colleges and a state university.

Moreover, Joplin is evolving into a thriving medical hub. Kansas City University-Joplin's medical school boasts over 300 enrolled students annually, and in 2023, a dental school opened on the Joplin campus. Join this dynamic community and embrace the crossroads of culture that define Joplin's unique charm!
