​I am running for the Camarillo Health Care District Board of Directors, Division 5, because I believe local healthcare leadership should be accessible, transparent, innovative, and focused on the real needs of our community.

The Camarillo Health Care District already provides important community based services, including senior nutrition, transportation, caregiver support, dementia services, health and wellness programs, fall prevention, and care management. My goal is to protect these valuable services while looking for new opportunities to expand access and reach more residents.

 

My campaign is focused on strengthening services for seniors and veterans, expanding youth mental health resources, improving transportation and access to healthcare, promoting preventive care and healthy living, and ensuring that residents know what programs and resources are available to them.

I also believe strongly in transparency and responsible stewardship of public resources. The District's mission is to promote community health through service, education, and empowerment, and its stated core values include integrity, transparency, and accountable stewardship. I want those principles reflected in every decision made by the Board.

 

If elected, I will work aggressively to identify state, federal, local, nonprofit, and private funding opportunities that can strengthen and expand community health programs without losing sight of fiscal responsibility.

Above all, my policies are built around a simple principle: healthcare should meet people where they are. Whether you are a senior trying to remain independent, a veteran looking for support, a young person struggling with mental health, a caregiver supporting a loved one, or a resident who simply needs help getting to an appointment, the Health Care District should be a visible and dependable community partner.
