With all the challenges rural healthcare is confronted with, that is particularly true. Leadership is the biggest predictor of a rural community?s wellbeing. Leadership makes the difference! Empowering rural health leaders with enhanced leadership skills will assist them in becoming more effective leaders, a worthy and necessary cause. This program is designed to assist rural health leaders in the state of Oklahoma to become more effective leaders to improve the viability of rural hospitals and clinics, empowering them to create a culture of health and wellbeing within their respective communities.
