PLAINVILLE — Congratulations to Jessie Tien, the occupational therapist at Rooks County Health Center, on being selected as a NextGen Under 30 awardee in the healthcare category.
NextGen Under 30 “recognizes and encourages the next generation of innovative, creative, and inspiring individuals who push the boundaries in demonstrating talent, drive and service to their communities.” Award winners are selected based upon their participation in and contribution to their communities. A panel of respected business and civic leaders serve as judges.
Recently, Tien had the opportunity to join other exceptional winners on a “Day at the Capitol” in Topeka, where she met with Lieutenant Governor David Toland and retired Kansas State Senator Tom Hawk, who were among those highlighting her achievements. She will formally be presented the award on October 20 at a special dinner ceremony in Wichita.
Asked to comment on the award, Tien said, “I am honored to be recognized as one of the exceptional young leaders of Kansas and strive to increase access to specialty therapy services offered in western Kansas. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to continue employment at RCH while completing a virtual hand therapy fellowship to help me achieve these goals.”
Tien was born in Hays but is now a Plainville resident along with her husband Brady and their one-year-old daughter Charlotte.
The NextGen Under 30 mission is to identify and honor very talented young adults and to encourage them to follow their lifetime family and career goals in Kansas. For more information about NextGen Under 30, go to https://nextgenunder30ks.com.
