eye. Sivak also performs cosmetic and
reconstructive procedures.
Before joining Mon Health, Sivak was

She earned her medical degree at The
Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio,

Rural Health Policy Internships
Created for Shepherd
University Students
Shepherd University is pleased to now
offer internship opportunities in rural
health policy for students pursuing studies
in health care and health care manage-
ment. Dr. Marcia Brand, who current-
ly serves as chair of Shepherd’s board
of governors, sponsors the internships.
Brand has pledged a 10-year commit-
ment to fund two merit-based intern-
ships per year for Shepherd students who
are interested in rural health and health
policy. The internships may take place
at either of two organizations: FORHP,
which allows students to learn about
federal and state programs that exist
to support rural communities, or the
National Rural Health Association
(NRHA), the principal membership or-
ganization in the nation for rural health
policy. Both organizations regularly host
interns and are excited about the oppor-
tunity to work with Shepherd.
“As the recipient of a rural health policy
internship, I feel better educated and in-
formed about the health care struggles
and challenges fellow West Virginians
and Americans face,” says Bree Myers of
Martinsburg, who interned at the NRHA
in fall 2017. “Having had this experi-
ence, I feel I am more strongly equipped
with resources and tools to advocate for
others in ensuring health care rights for all
Americans, regardless of their zip code.”
Students are recruited for rural health
policy internships with the help of Shep-
herd faculty and are selected based on
their resumes and relevant experience.
Students may decide at which organiza-
tion they would like to intern.
Brand hopes her gift will serve as a
model for others who are engaged with
the campus community, particularly those
who are retired from the federal govern-
ment and have a strong respect for the
federal workforce. Likewise, she hopes
these internship opportunities will in-
spire Shepherd students to pursue similar
policy experience and consider careers at
the federal level.
