We were fortunate to have nationally acclaimed expert Brian Lee as our keynote speaker and Cancer Center of America CEO/President Pete Govorchin as our special guest. Brock Slabach with the National Rural Health Association provided us with a federal update and our Conference wrapped up with a closing session presented by Dexter Glasgow with the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Management Services.
