Message-ID: <98D84D4336193D41BD54FB9D24B321F10152F3C580@EX-MB01.ohsu.edu> Dear Friends of Rural Health, It has been an honor and privilege to work with all of you over the last 5+ years. I have learned a tremendous amount from each of you and have been truly inspired by your commitment to provide quality healthcare for rural residents. I am both excited and sad to begin the next chapter of my life. Family obligations require me to spend more time closer to home. I will miss working so closely with each of you and hope that we can remain in contact. You can find me at www.grant-expectations.com or send me an email at kassie at grant-expectations.com. I can assure you that the programs that I have been working on over the last few years will continue in the very capable hands of Ms. Shellye Dant. Please welcome her to the Oregon Office of Rural Health (ORH) by sending her an email at dants at ohsu.edu, if you haven't done so already. Shellye will be supported by the amazing staff of the ORH. I must personally thank Scott Ekblad for taking a chance on me and for his steadfast support over the years. You can reach Shellye, Scott, and the other staff at ORH by dialing 503-494-4450 or visiting the ORH web site at www.ohsu.edu/orh. May you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
