SUBJECT:. Honoring Deborah Card on 30 Years of Service VP7.00
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION: ADOPT Resolution No. 2008/667 to recognize Deborah Card, PHN,
PhD, for her 30 years of service to Contra Costa Health Services
FISCAL IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND: Debbie has been active as a public health nurse for many years. As
Director of the County's Home Health Agency, she put in many extra hours so people
could receive care when there was no other way for this to happen. Debbie was the co-
chair of CCHS' Diversity Advisory Committee and championed getting the Department's
Reducing Health Disparities Initiative in place. Her work is always focused on
improving services and service delivery systems for the County's homeless, senior
citizens, children and families, drug and alcohol affected people, and those living with
HIV disease. Pick an issue focused on improving life for those less able to access
services and you will find Debbie Card hard at work — most recently organizing the Fall
Prevention Coalition to help seniors prevent injuries. Debbie holds a doctorate in
education and uses her skills to mentor and support students working in the field of
nursing. She is eternally positive and compassionate and is a force for positive change.
