In recognition of her outstanding and sustained contribution to the Centre for Remote Health (CRH), Executive Officer, Jeanne Tahini, received a 2015 Flinders University School of Medicine Dean’s Award.

For almost a decade and a half Jeanne she has provided comprehensive administrative support for CRH academic activities, and a key link to the community of Central Australia that has been invaluable to CRH’s success.

The fact that CRH has established itself as both a productive university centre and a valuable community resource is due, in large part, to the professional and effective way Jeanne organises and coordinates staff and resources.

Jeanne has also been pivotal to Flinders’ School of Medicine’s successful growth of operations playing a key role in the successful functioning of the medical program in Central Australia.
