Over the last fifty years I have served as a community advocate and organizer. I have been honored to serve as the longest standing member of the Sierra Kings Health Care District board since 2007 and Board Chair since 2009. During my tenure as Board Chair, through outstanding team work and community support, we were able to restructure the hospital administration, operations, transition of the hospital to Adventist Health, clearance of all hospital fiscal matters, and ongoing stabilization of the hospital and the District. Having weathered all these phases, I am honored to lead the District in its transition into a community-based grant-making agency. With new staff and dedicated board members we are poised for the continual assessment of community needs to strategically invest funding in high impact programming.
The board has dedicated its time and efforts to develop the 2021-2024 Strategic Plan to champion our work into the future. It is our intention to make impactful investments to improve the lives of all residents of our District.
