Strong representation and outstanding leadership at the Michigan Center for Rural Health Annual Conference.

Our Practice Manager, Keisha Sexton, BBA, CRHCP, and April Marsh, BSN, RN, Complex Care Manager, attended this year’s conference, where April delivered an impactful presentation on Care Management; highlighting real-world strategies, patient-centered coordination, and measurable outcomes that are making a difference in rural communities.

April’s work continues to exemplify excellence in care delivery, driving improved access, stronger patient engagement, and more efficient care models. Her leadership in this space reflects the caliber of innovation and commitment we strive to bring to every patient we serve.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the Michigan Center for Rural Health for their continued dedication to advancing rural health and for hosting a high-quality, collaborative conference that brings leaders together to move this work forward.

Today we celebrate Ashley for Administrative Professionals Day.

There truly aren’t enough words to capture everything Ashley does each day. From managing IT issues and keeping our phone systems running, to supporting population health and stepping in wherever there’s a need. Much of her work happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt by every team member and every patient we serve.

Ashley, your dedication, patience, and willingness to take on anything, no matter how complex or unexpected, do not go unnoticed. You make our work easier, our systems stronger, and our team better.

We are incredibly grateful for you and all that you bring to this organization. Thank you for everything you do.
