Greetings!
I can hardly believe that I am about to enter my third month as District Health Director. It is true that time flies when you're having fun. I am having so much fun and I want to say thank you.
Thank you for that good ole southern hospitality. I have received such a warm welcome back to Georgia (it makes me wonder why I ever left).
Thank you for your smiles, hearty laughter, well wishes, prayers, support, and encouragement. But, most of all thank you for: being passionate about the health and wellness of disadvantaged populations and the medically underserved; your commitment to the vision of Healthy People in Healthy Communities; and being dedicated to making our district a safe place to eat, drink, and breathe - something that most people take for granted.
I am humbled and honored to have this opportunity to serve with each of you, realizing that we do public health work not for fame or fortune - we do it because we are called and because we care so deeply .
Jacqueline H. Grant, MD, MPH, MPA
