ON behalf of the people of the CNMI, Gov. Juan Nekai Babauta, Lt. Gov. Diego T. Benavente, and the Department of Public Health, I want to thank you and all the hard-working members of the CHC Volunteers Association for your continued commitment to volunteerism and service to our community. I would like to extend a special “un dunkulo na si yuus maase” to your predecessor, Mrs. Susan Tudela Palacios Schwarz, for her leadership of the association for many years starting from its inception. Her commitment to service and charity to CHC and our community is exemplary.
For many years now, our people have benefited from the multiple contributions the CHC Volunteers Association has made to our hospital for purchase of essential equipment to help provide quality medical care and to make CHC a more comfortable experience for all our patients. The association’s role as a partner in the provision of quality health care to our community is vital. The governor, lt. governor, and the management of the DPH look forward to working with you and the members for the next several years.
We respectfully ask all members of our community to follow the example of the members of the association and volunteer their time in support of our patients and only community hospital.
Dr. JAMES U. HOFSCHNEIDER
Acting Public Health Secretary
