Greetings, I’m Shandel Anson, but you might also know me as Shawnee Yordy. Since March 11, 2024, I’ve had the honor of serving as the Chief Executive Officer at Bennett County Hospital and Rural Health Clinic. It’s been quite a journey—I began here two years ago as the Quality and Infection Control Nurse.
