PIF Likhitha Patha shared: "Coming into government, you get a chance to improve how people experience government and create services that are simple and effective." One example is the #PlainLanguage #telehealth resource that Likhitha helped launch: https://telehealth.hhs.gov"> https://telehealth.hhs.gov  /2
