WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts is applauding the appointment of former Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer to serve as chair of the National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services.
"As the co-chair of the Senate Rural Health Caucus, I am glad to see my colleague and friend, Jeff Colyer, appointed to this important role within HHS," said Sen. Roberts. "As a doctor and a Kansan, Gov. Colyer will be a strong voice for improving health care in our most underserved rural communities in not only Kansas, but across the country. I look forward to working with him in this new role."
