When you vote in the upcoming primary election on Aug. 16, I urge you to vote for Dr. Mary Alice Heuschel for Commissioner of Public Hospital District No. 1. This election is important to our community because this commission oversees the Valley Medical Center and its clinics throughout South King County.
Dr. Heuschel currently serves as superintendent of the Renton School District, and will continue to serve as superintendent if elected to the hospital commission. Renton Schools have greatly improved under Dr. Heuschel’s watch. For her outstanding leadership, in 2011 she was selected as the Washington state superintendent of the year and ranked in the top four school superintendents in the nation. I believe Dr. Heuschel will bring this same award-winning leadership to the role of hospital commissioner.
In addition to her love for education, Dr. Heuschel is passionate about healthcare and understands that a strong community begins with quality education and healthy families. The Valley Medical Commission needs a leader who will work tirelessly to provide quality healthcare to every member of our community. I believe that Dr. Heuschel is a gifted leader who will shine in the role of hospital commissioner. Simply put, I believe she is the best candidate for the job.
