The coordinators of the Health and Human Services section of Leadership La Plata 2014-2015 would like to express our sincere THANKS to those who made our day possible, pleasant and productive. Our "special" thanks to Mercy Medical Center for sponsoring our day and providing invaluable assistance via the meeting room, lunch and snacks. Mercy Medical Center CEO, Tom Gessel, made a huge difference for our class by taking time from his schedule to speak to the current LLP class. David Bruzzese made all of this possible by assisting the coordinators with details and timing that worked flawlessly. Our thanks also to our leadership trainer, Jasper Welch, for tackling the conflict resolution section of our day.

Our facilitator, Sarada Leavenworth of Volunteers of America, kept our day on track by meeting timelines and engaging class participants. We had invaluable help from our panel discussion participants: Shelia Casey - La Plata County Senior Center, Christina Knoell - San Juan Basin Area Agency on Aging, Kevin O'Connor - San Juan Basin Health, Stephanie Allred - Axis Health System, Martha Johnson - La Plata County Health and Human Services and Rachael Bauske - Volunteers of America.
