serving those who suffer. She has
constantly advocated for responsive
and needed treatment services and developed programs which have adapted and grown to meet the
needs of San Diegans. In 2010, for instance, Jeanne was
the first Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) specialist to be
named Mental Health Person of the Year for championing programs that address co-occurring disorders and
integrate substance abuse and mental health treatment. At the young age of 81, she continues to use over
40 years of experience to lead the agency to the top of
its field. In November, Jeanne celebrated 58 years
