“I like working for DOH-Pinellas, because it makes me feel special knowing that we are helping those people that are the most vulnerable in our community. When my father was diagnosed with lung cancer, he didn’t had health insurance. I took him to St. Pete DOH and he started getting help for his illness. They send him to specialist and after two months he was approved for Medicaid and surgery. He didn’t had to do more testing and waste any more time, since this was already done by DOH. Everyone was very nice and took care of him. This was eight years ago and my dad is still alive. Also, working for DOH has great benefits, health insurance, payed holidays, but most importantly, stability and security. I know that if I do my job, I will not be unemployed.” – Kristina B., Healthy Families Pinellas Program Supervisor
