Communications Officer, Inland Northwest Health Services (INHS) - Host for 2003 MarCom intern Ryan Moede 

Inland Northwest Health Services has relied on interns for help in the communication office for the past five years. With more than 800 employees representing seven distinct lines of business, the work for the communication office far outweighs the two-person department's ability to meet all the needs. Bringing on an intern has enabled us to move projects through the communication office with more efficiency, while at the same time bringing a real world communication experience to a student. 

Ryan Moede, a Whitworth College student, joined our communication team as an intern, and we immediately knew he would have a positive impact on our group and organization. Ryan jumped in and took on projects without trepidation, and his rapport with our team and our colleagues was outstanding. With some changes occurring in the communication office recently, Ryan has taken on a formal part-time position within INHS as a communication assistant. Ryan will leave INHS just before his graduation in 2004 with some solid experience as a practitioner and a portfolio of excellent clips.

The MarCom internship program provided us with a quality intern who matched our company and our staff personalities quite well.
