Today I celebrate my 1-year anniversary with you. When you are busy, time certainly flies.
I am thankful for the opportunity that presented itself last year- I couldn't have asked for anything more when I received the call from Dr. Gunning last year the Monday before Thanksgiving.
Unless I am being cheated, it really looks like you are on the move with minority health in our area. Your dedication and hard work makes me proud to be your representative.
Over the past several weeks, we planned and completed focus group sessions to update our local strategic plan- continuing with the local conversations you started last summer.
Your comments combined with efforts from our office should produce a comprehensive product that can be used as a blueprint for us to focus our efforts.
The Toledo-Lucas County Commission on Minority Health is evolving each week; thanks for having me take an active role in guiding you down a path that will continue to address, reduce, and eliminate health disparities in our area.
Remember our vision: Healthy African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, and other minority families in Toledo and Lucas County...
Remember our mission: To improve the health and quality of life of African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, and other minorities in Toledo and Lucas County through education, collaboration, capacity-building, program funding, and outcome evaluation...
At the end of the day, this is why we were created, why we are still here today, and why we will continue to impact the community with a strong presence in the future.
Respectfully,
Duane
