"My internship at CHC gave me insight to the public health world that I would never have experienced before. But most of all it taught me the importance of connection and how valuable of a tool that can be. Now working under the same organization in a rural area, I use the power of connection in every interaction I have with my community. I have LEAD to thank for learning the skills necessary to make meaningful and intention relationships with my community."
