Director's Update - 2010
by Dr. Lisa Conti
There's no question we weathered a tough year. It feels all the world like the nearly constant hurricanes we survived in 2004, minus the blue tarp roofs. In addition to revenue shortfalls, we said final goodbyes to dear friends and family members, and had several long-term EPH'ers retire. Some of us endured seemingly catastrophic illness or injury, and yet, here we all are poised for a new year, a new decade ready to take on additional challenges, knowing there will be adversity around the corner. I believe our ability to withstand these hardships is rooted in our collective, innovative environmental public health vision, our honed technical skills and our mutual support of each other. I look forward to a productive and healthy 2010 with you. |
