and
Whereas, he has forged a partnership between the public health agency

to enhance access and improve the quality of care; and
Whereas, Mike Jarrett has strengthened and directed the agency's
orientation toward providing services which are considerate of the
consumer's needs; and
Whereas, he has developed an understanding among agency staff and in
the public in general of the linkage between health and environmental
