🎉 Congratulations to Kristi Bradshaw, Family Nurse Practitioner at Rural Medical Services Official, for receiving the 2026 Outstanding Practitioner of the Year Award!
This award recognizes a clinical practitioner, employed by an organizational member of the association, whose work has demonstrated outstanding leadership, community involvement, and dedication to patient care.
"She has demonstrated outstanding clinical care and leadership, but her greatest gift is the compassion she brings to every patient, every day," said Lindsey Shults, Director of Quality and Risk Management, when nominating her. "She represents what healthcare should be—a relationship built on trust, kindness, respect, and genuine concern for another human being."
