REDEFINING SUPPORT

As a new organization, our success and momentum to date is due primarily to the 24/7 efforts of our extended volunteer network. While many other FCC Rural Health Care Pilot Programs (RHCPP) have evolved out of existing organizations/institutions, like State university systems, OHN started from scratch, through a completely working-volunteer network. OHN will continue to rely heavily upon its board and six committees to do what it is that we need to do.

If you’re interested in participating and bringing your passion for healthcare and your professional experience to OHN, we encourage you to contact us to learn more about our committees and where you might find the best place to serve.

This is not a solo flight or something for a small niche group if we're going to make this vision a reality. Learn how you can lend your support here. We need as many willing hands as we can find.
