Please join us in congratulating Brenda Link on being recognized today by the Department of Defense and ESGR as a Patriotic Employer. 💙

We are also proud to share that Regional Health Services of Howard County is recognized as an organization for embodying these same values and commitments. As a whole, Regional Health Services of Howard County actively supports employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve by fostering a workplace culture built on flexibility, understanding, and respect for military obligations. This organizational commitment ensures that service members and their families are supported not only during deployments and training, but throughout every stage of their service.
Brenda’s leadership exemplifies these principles in action. Her compassion, advocacy, and dedication mirror the broader mission of Regional Health Services of Howard County—to stand behind those who protect our freedoms while strengthening our workforce and community. Together, this shared commitment contributes to national security, protects liberty and freedom, and creates lasting, meaningful impacts for Guard and Reserve members and their families.
This recognition is truly well deserved. Thank you, Brenda, and thank you to Regional Health Services of Howard County for your leadership, compassion, and steadfast commitment to protecting those who protect us.
