Megan recently graduated from University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, where she studied Nursing and Sociology, with an emphasis in Community, Organizing, and Environment, and received a certificate in Social Equity and Diversity. She was raised in rural Northern Wisconsin, so this role is very personal to her after growing up thinking it was normal to drive an hour and a half to her pediatrician, experiencing the struggles of rural healthcare, and working as a Certified Nursing Assistant for over two years at the nursing home in her hometown.
Megan joined the Wisconsin Office of Rural Health in September 2022 as the Program Assistant. In this role, she provides technical assistance to Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Health Clinics throughout the state. The WORH helps fund these hospitals and clinics and creates quality improvement projects with them through two federal grants we apply for. Megan loves that she can be a part of improving rural healthcare.
Megan loves living in Madison with so many events happening and places to explore with her friends. She also enjoys riding her bike, setting up her hammock by the lake, and taking care of her plants.
