Referrals Based on Location

First time poster, I was wondering if I needed to go out and keep trying to call and find additional referrals for a summer analyst position. I currently have a referral from an MD, however, he is from a different state (South) than the position I'm applying for (New York). I was just wondering if that was enough of a referral or if I needed to go for a referral from an employee in New York?
