Kristen Weidner is a doctoral student in the Rehabilitation Sciences program. Her research interests include rural health and telehealth, which stem from clinical experience at a critical access hospital and a desire to increase access to speech-language pathology services for all. Her current research focuses on older adults' perceptions and use of telehealth. Research in these areas can help stakeholders tailor telehealth services to the unique needs of older adults, a rapidly growing population in the United States.
