With 40 exhibitors and over 23 education sessions to choose from, attendees had a great opportunity to learn best practices and network with the state’s top rural health leaders. 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.
