Rowan County
The health and wellbeing of individuals, families and seniors in southern and eastern Kentucky is a priority for Rogers. As such, he has secured federal funds for the Regional Center for Health and Education Research at the St. Claire Medical Center. St. Claire Medical Center works in conjunction with Morehead State University to provide medical support, raise awareness about health and wellness and provides valuable educational opportunities.
Education is a building block for successful communities. Rogers has secured funding over the years to bring important research funds to Morehead State University. Most recently, he secured funding for a scientific research initiative which will not only benefit MSU students and the academic community, but lead to cutting-edge solutions for the U.S. Military.
