MONROE - The Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative awarded Ron Spielman the Rural Health Ambassador Award. Spielman is Monroe Clinic's special projects advisor and has a long history of community health activism.
Jeremy Levin, RWHC Director of Advocacy, presented Spielman with the award April 22 at Monroe Clinic's advisory council meeting in Monroe. As senior projects advisor, part of Spielman's role includes serving as a liaison between Monroe Clinic and the public: He engages community members face-to-face during advisory council meetings, where he shares Monroe Clinic news and invites their feedback to Monroe Clinic leadership.
