South Central Medical Center engaged the REH TA team for assistance as we moved through the application process. Janice Walters and her team provided timely updates to our questions. We participated in the Cohort process and found it extremely beneficial to network with other organizations across the country navigating similar issues with the new designation. The website has been a valuable reference tool in our journey. We look forward to continuing the conversation as we move into the execution phase of the REH.”
