This summer, the Family Health Clinic welcomes three administrative interns. Each intern will work on several projects during their rotation, ranging from new advances in our behavioral health department to annual corporate reports, and more. They will also become involved in the marketing and promotion effort for the clinics. These projects will benefit both the Family Health Clinic and the students, and we are very excited to have had them join us for their rotation in the middle of May.
