WELCOME TO SPRINGFIELD
Springfield, Missouri, has something for everyone. The third largest city in Missouri sits among gently-rolling mountains, lush forests, pristine lakes, swiftly-flowing streams, and abundant wildlife, yet offers all of the amenities of a city - the arts, nightlife, festivals, museums, shopping malls, semi-professional sports, and great restaurants. Welcoming neighbors, strong job markets, low cost-of-living, excellent schools, superior health care, abundant outdoor & recreational opportunities, delightful entertainment, beautiful neighborhoods and a temperate climate with four brilliant seasons have made the region one of the fastest-growing in the nation. Best of all is the central location that provides quick, convenient access to several major cities, such as St. Louis and Kansas City, MO; Tulsa, OK; Fayetteville and Little Rock, AR; Memphis, TN. In addition, four major airlines serve passengers at the Springfield-Branson Regional Airport, providing daily service to six major hub locations (Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Detriot, Memphis, and St. Louis).

The community supports a rich learning environment and is home to a variety of public and private higher educational institutions including Southwest Missouri State University, Drury University, Evangel University, Southwest Baptist University, Cox College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and several other technical and business colleges. Health care is a leading (and rapidly growing) local industry, with two of the main hospital systems employing over 700 physicians and 16,000 staff that support continued growth in services and research.
