Lindy Vincent
Washington State Office of Rural Health
Rural Hospital Program Manager
NOSORH Member since 2016
What I’m working on right now: Working on our EMS Flex grant with our EMS Project Coordinator to develop webinars for trainings – learning a lot from him as he is also a trained EMS personnel that lives and works in a rural community.
Best advice I ever received: Don’t sweat the small stuff that makes you stumble – just keep moving and don’t look back. Live in the moment.
The SORH work that I am most proud of: Developing a relationship with each of my 30 CAHs so that I hear directly what their challenges are – which then drives our program goals. Each CAH is so unique.
People would be surprised if they knew: How many places I’ve lived – I’m the happy wanderer!

Favorite thing about working at a SORH: The collaboration between staff members as we all work from different angles. So much diverse knowledge and experience in one office!
