This week on Rural Health Leadership Radio, we are celebrating our third anniversary! We are celebrating with our intern, Sydney, and having a conversation about what she has learned in her time with RHLR! Sydney is a Master of Healthcare Administration student at the University of South Florida, and has been with RHLR since May. 

“We should focus on consistently chipping away at our problems and always look for improvement.”
