She has provided consultation for multiple networks, and continued to participate in practice-based research projects in her role as network associate for the six-year RWJF-funded Prescription for Health program.
Linda has two children and is the doting grandma of Abby, Rayen and Liam. She loves living in Colorado and especially enjoys white water rafting.
