Some recent news from RiverStone Health that impacts AHEC.

We had a busy February with a number of changes, including Jenny taking her talents to Rocky Vista University - Montana (lucky them!) and Rhianna moving to a new role at RiverStone.

We're thrilled to see how AHEC continues to grow and evolve.

Please join us in congratulating Rhianna on her new role as RiverStone Health’s Director of Communications and Marketing! 🎉

Rhianna has been part of the RiverStone Health team for nearly four years, bringing creativity, strategy, and a deep passion for public health to everything she does. Her commitment to clear, mission-driven messaging has helped strengthen how we connect with our community and share the impact of our work.

We are excited to see her step into this leadership role and look forward to the continued growth and innovation of our Communications and Marketing team under her direction.

Congratulations, Rhianna, we’re proud to have you leading the way! 💙
