RECOGNIZING DR. JOHN DOUGLAS
______
HON. ED PERLMUTTER
of colorado
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, November 16, 2021
Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. John Douglas, Executive Director of the Tri-County Health Department, for his dedication and service to the people of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to his duties as Executive Director, Dr. Douglas went above and beyond by engaging, informing and educating community members, including by participating in seven Telephone Town Halls with my office and speaking to thousands of my constituents.
With more than 43 years of experience in the medical field as an Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr. Douglas has enormous experience in the field of public health and has played an instrumental role in disseminating accurate and timely information to Coloradans throughout the pandemic. On Telephone Town Halls, Dr. Douglas provided timely updates on COVID-19 and answered constituent's questions regarding how to protect themselves and their families. Under Dr. Douglas's leadership, residents of our community were empowered and informed as we worked together to help limit the transmission and impact of COVID-
19 on our community.
There is no amount of recognition that can accurately display just how much Dr. Douglas has done for us. It is because of essential workers like Dr. Douglas that we have been able to make it this far in the pandemic. I wish him nothing but the best in the future, as we continue to fight against COVID-19.
