Memorial System Battles Non-Competes to Get Doctors for Rural Healthcare

Non-competes have been around a long time, in various fields. They essentially prevent a worker with a 'clientele' developed for one employer to move to another and possibly take that clientele with them. Fine for the first employer, not so good for another one in an area nearby, nor for the workers and the clients. This is one of many problems preventing full health coverage in Ohio's rural areas. State legislators are looking at possible corrections. This Newark Advocate article essays the issue.
