WHAT MAKES YOU THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THIS OFFICE?

I feel that in my over 27 years at Heartland Care and Rehab and having dealt with the past three Public Administrators, I have an understanding for the position. I have worked with the Social Workers at both local hospitals and several hospitals in surrounding areas. I have also worked with SADI, DMH, Community Counseling, Sikeston Regional Center, local Physicians, and many more agencies. I will try to use community resources as best as possible.

WHY ARE YOU SEEKING THIS SEAT IN SUCH A CROWDED FIELD?

I am seeking this seat to be there for the individuals in this County who are in need of someone to look out for them. I have an understanding for many aspects of this position in dealing with the various agencies that the individuals under the Public Administrator require. I enjoy those individuals in Nursing Facilities and would do the best I can for them.

CLOSING REMARKS:

The Position of Public Administrator requires a person who is caring. I feel that I could be that person.
