“Too many people in our community (and around the globe) lack access to basic health care, and the problem grows each year. Solving this crisis is going to take creativity, unlikely partnerships and big ideas, and Regional One Health is a torchbearer in all three of these areas in the Mid-South. I’m passionate about this cause and I’m excited to help Regional One expand its mission.”
