As Chief Executive Officer of AgriSafe for over twenty years, Natalie Roy utilizes her public health training to improve the quality of health care offered to farm families. Natalie holds a Masters in Public Health from Tulane University. She is pleased to work in the area of agricultural health as it relates to her experience growing up on a farm in Canterbury New Hampshire.

Shaped by her experience as a Registered Nurse in rural Nebraska and as part of a multi-generational family farm, Linda grew into advocating for and educating agricultural producers and healthcare professionals. As the Agricultural Health Liaison at the AgriSafe Network, she is responsible for curriculum design of outreach programs that serve the holistic health needs of today’s farmers and ranchers. She serves as project lead within the Midwest region for the Total Farmer Health Coach program, which has a direct focus on behavioral health. Her liaison work is most exceptionally seen in the Talking Total Farmer Health podcast which she hosts, and the health/wellness outreach trainings she leads within the agricultural population she serves.
