Salud-Para-La-Gente-LogoThe board of directors of Salud Para La Gente announced the appointment of Dr. Zettie D. Page, III as Salud’s Chief Executive Officer, effective August 2, 2010. Dr. Page will follow Dr. José A. Chibrás, who served as Interim CEO, as well as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Chibrás will continue as Salud’s CMO.

Dr. Page presently serves as the Executive Director of Plains Medical Center in Limon, Colorado. He holds a Doctorate of Medicine in General Medicine, Doctorate in Social Work, MBA in Health Systems, Masters Degree in Social Work, Masters of Science in Community Health Education and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Dr. Page speaks fluent Chinese (Mandarin).

His previous community leadership roles include nonprofit boards, community advisory council appointments, the National Health Service Corps Advisory Council and the advisory council to Colorado Governor for improving statewide health care.

Regarding its selection of Dr. Page as Salud’s new CEO, Salud’s Board Chair for 2010/2011 Marc Pimentel said, “We are very excited about taking Salud into its new chapter and feel very fortunate to have Dr. Page who has extensive educational and professional achievements in this field and who also serves as one of 15 members on the National Advisory Council on Migrant Health.

“This is a tremendously important time for us and our community as we prepare for implementation of national health care reform, which here in California is played out against the backdrop of multiyear and ongoing state budget deficits that have adversely impacted all safety net providers.

“Dr. Page’s leadership will be key in advancing Salud’s mission and service to the community in this new health care environment. He has proven himself to be a champion for the reduction of health care disparities, creating access to health care services, and to developing culturally competent health care services. He will be an asset to our community.”

Dr. Chibrás added, “We welcome Dr. Page to our organization and look forward to working with him.”

Dr. Page said, “I am honored to accept the board’s appointment as Salud’s new CEO. The organization has done tremendous work in this community for three decades, and I am excited to be a part of it going forward. I had the opportunity to live in this area previously, and am familiar with the access to health care challenges here. I care deeply about the health and well-being of migrant farm workers and will continue Salud’s commitment to proactively serving this community’s health needs. I thank the board for giving me this opportunity to serve the community.”

Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 23)

09-libraBoth Venus and Mars are working well in your sign, giving you a stunning ability to get what you want in the easiest way possible. You wish it was always this simple! But don't ignore hard reality and the rule book while you're at it and recognize what limits you. See this as a small challenge rather than a major headache and provided you remain positive, you can easily make a difference. Working behind the scenes means that you may not yet get the recognition you feel you deserve, but you certainly don't go unnoticed!

11-sagittariusAlthough this is an excellent month in terms of your career direction and professional life, you are also getting to grips with how your personal ambitions fit into what is possible as far as your family is concerned.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

12-capricornWhile the Sun is in Virgo you find that the world seems to make more sense and you are not dealing with so many mysteries and uncertainties. But that may be as a result of you taking charge, which you have been doing increasingly in recent months.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 18)

01-aquariusA little diversion is welcome and some kind escape is appealing. Taking yourself off somewhere to spend some valuable downtime is preferable at the start of the month and you really need time to go over different ideas to see where they lead. A change is coming but you are resistant to too much disruption. But there is likely to be less than you think, since a natural progression is taking place. News around your career is surprising and hopeful, and you could soon be doing something completely different.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

03-ariesThe Sun in Virgo is practical and awakens your desire to be there for other people. You are sometimes accused of putting yourself first, but not now.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

04-taurusIt's not until later this month, when Venus enters your chart area of relationships, that you see what a benefit this can be and even more so if you are single. Mars the action planet, is also there which makes September a sizzling time for love and romance. But don't dismiss what you can achieve with building good relationships on a professional level too.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

05-geminiWhile you are actively involved in creative pursuits this month, you can be frustrated by delays in an official capacity. Travel plans may also not go as well as you'd hoped earlier on but after the first few days, things are back on track. Using your natural skills to come up with innovative solutions can stand you in good stead for the future. Others may seek to steal your thunder so don't be too modest!

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

 

06-cancerYou are up and down emotionally and that's because you are reacting fairly strongly to events that are outside your control. It's time to be a little more philosophical and accepting to save yourself unnecessary stress. In fact, the way you think can have a great impact on what you do. It's not just about being positive either, but practical solutions to complex situations are not that far away. Team work and collaboration with others can bring enormous rewards, especially if you are doing something with a charity.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 23)

07-leoYour social skills are getting a work out at the start of the month and Venus and Mars together can create just the right chemistry if you are in a new liaison. But the sun is in sensible Virgo for the first three weeks, and although this doesn't hold you back particularly, you are more savvy than usual and a little less reckless. Take your time when it comes to making important decisions regarding your finances, and wait till after the 12th before you make a major commitment that can have far reaching effects for the future.

Virgo (Aug. 24-Sep. 22)

 

08-virgoYou are more energetic and enthusiastic than usual and take the lead when it comes to making decisions and starting new projects. You have the ability to put yourself over well in interviews and meetings and clear headed when you have to give advice and your opinions, either written or spoken.

It takes discipline but you have that in abundance.
