Eden Township Health Care DistrictCandidate for Member, Board of Director, Zone 3

I am a life long resident of Castro Valley and life long Democrate. I am a retired Nuclear Medicne/Ultrasound technolgist and while working I was a member of ILWU and served as Shop Steward. I have been on the Eden Health District Board for 2 terms and am currently seeking Director for Castro Valley/Fairview area 3. During the pandemic I worked on the frontlines at Cal State East Bay along with the Hayward Fire Department testing and educating the community on COVID-19. The District was able to obtain KN95 masks that were distributed to hospital and service workers in our area. The year the District is able to give $300,000.00 in grants to local organiztions that support the Districts mission.

My family consists of a husband, 3 grown boys and 2 grandchildren. I spent 15 years volunteering with the Nation Ski Patrol System in the Sierra's and still enjoy skiing. Our summers are mostly spent camping and enjoying Lake Tahoe.

The Eden Health District's assests are the public's assests and must be spent wisely and carfully to preserve our corpus funds. These funds are to help the underserved areas of our community for better health outcomes. It's much better keeping folks healthy than supplying more hospital beds for the ill. The District has been providing support to hospital and other community based organizations that provide direct and indirect health related services. It does this without collecting any taxes from District residents.
