The County of Sonoma is reaffirming their support for their Health Services Director. In recent weeks, the Press Democrat has released several articles regarding Sonoma County Health Services and their failure to pay contracted nonprofits on time. As a result, the County’s Board of Supervisors and Administrator have reaffirmed their support for Health Services Director Tina Rivera and her department.
“Recent articles in The Press Democrat have inferred mismanagement by county staff. It’s important to recognize the challenging and complex work the County’s Health Department does. It’s also important to support and value the staff and leaders who are working to make positive change in our community. To that end, the Board of Supervisors and County Administrator want to make it clear that we wholeheartedly support Tina Rivera as she leads the over 700 Health Services Department employees in their mission to protect the health and well-being of our community.”
