Weekly News – Mar 25, 2026

Jason Rounds, CEO of San Juan Regional Medical Center, will be joining us to give a behind-the-scenes look at how healthcare funding helps keep critical services available right here in our community. He’ll share how programs like the Healthcare Delivery and Access Act support services such as emergency care, childbirth, and behavioral health at SJRMC—and what it means for the future of healthcare in the Four Corners. It should be an interesting and informative conversation about something that impacts all of us locally.

Speakers. We are always looking for interesting speakers. If you know someone ask them if they would like to make a presentation at Kiwanis. Check club calendar and confirm the date is still open, schedule your speaker and aks for a short paragraph of their presentation. This information goes into our newsletter and also our website and internet. www.riodelsolkiwanis.com
