RULING THE WEEK
Hi, everyone! I have some news: Today will be my last day as the writer of the Women Rule newsletter. I’ve been so honored to helm the newsletter over the past nearly two years as we reinvented it and nearly doubled our reach.

As the situation deteriorated, the U.S. Army’s Africa Command received a series of unprecedented orders
Here s What You Need to Remember:
By September 2014, Liberia appeared on the verge of collapsing before the ravages of the Ebola virus a horrifying disease infamous for escalating from flu-like symptoms to hemorrhaging that cause gruesome external and internal bleeding and vomiting, resulting in death in 50 to 90 percent of cases.

The rural health care crisis and medical education
Decades of job loss, the opioid crisis, and the current pandemic have all shaken the already tenuous health care system of rural America.

Therefore, it is essential that rural poverty be prioritized as a key part of these conversations.
