Your Healthcare Advocate
As a candidate for Hospital Commissioner, I am committed to ensuring that our healthcare system remains accessible, accountable, and compassionate for every member of our community.
With over 50 years of experience in healthcare, public service, and business, I understand both the challenges and the opportunities facing our hospital system. I believe that everyone—regardless of income, background, or zip code—deserves high-quality care delivered with respect and dignity.
If elected, I will work to:
- Strengthen transparency and fiscal responsibility in hospital governance
- Support frontline healthcare workers with the tools and staffing they need
- Expand access to preventive care and mental health services
- Ensure our hospital remains responsive to the needs of a growing and diverse population
My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and rooted in listening to the people we serve. I will be a strong advocate for patients, families, and staff—and I will work every day to keep our healthcare system strong, sustainable, and centered on community well-being.
Together, we can build a healthier future.
