While not disputing your statement, nearly all of our providers regularly journey back to New York, specifically Flushing, Queens, between assignments.
They have apartments there, that's where they catch up on their routine medical and dental services, and they get to shop, dine out, sleep late, and enjoy time with their buds.
Some might stay, and do postings in the Flushing or Manhattan locations.
But, simply "going to New York" does not mean we won't see them locally again.
