Thanks to our Researcher-User Network!

We had our first phone meeting of our Researcher-User Network group yesterday.  Many thanks to all participants! We are enormously grateful to this talented group of individuals who are willing to work with the SCRHRC to ensure that our research is a] helpful to rural practitioners, and b] reaches the persons who can benefit from our findings most effectively.  These folks are both generous and terrific:

     Graham Adams, PhD CEO of the South Carolina Office of Rural Health and past president of the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health

     Patrick (Pat) Libbey, immediate past executive director of the National Association of County and City Health Officials  

     Roberta (Bobbi) Ryder, CEO of the National Center for Farmworker Health, Inc. 

     Robert Graham, MD, Professor at the Department of Family Medicine, University of Cincinnati 

     Maya Rockeymoore, PhD, Director of Program Leadership, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

     [Catherine Hess, Senior Program Director at the National Academy for State Health Policy, couldn't make the phone call, but we hope to meet her soon!]
