Little Rivers Health Care is proud to recognize the following staff: Nicole Keaty, RN; Wendy Munn, RN; Ashley Murray, LNA, MA; Kate Telofski, MA; Liz Henson, MA; and LRHC board member Karla Wilson, RN as AgriSafe nurse scholars. The staff listed above have recently completed the AgriSafe Network Nurse Scholar Program. They join other nurses across the nation who have invested in their professional training and their communities. Our clinics are located in 3 locations throughout the Upper Valley of Vermont: Bradford, East Corinth, and Wells River. AgriSafe Nurse Scholar is an 18-hour educational series which targets agricultural health and safety issued, risks, and prevention measures that can impact the short and long-term wellness of community families and businesses that depend on production agriculture. Topics include ergonomics, women’s health, youth in the workforce, mental health, hearing and respiratory protection, animal borne diseases, pesticide and chemical safety, and several emerging issues. AgriSafe is a non-profit national membership organization, that represents health professionals and educators who strive to reduce health disparities found among the agricultural community. Our vision is to prevent agricultural injuries, disease, and fatalities through the effective delivery of agricultural occupational health services.
