From Board Chair
David Russell, Adventist Health / Adventist Medical Center
 The Greatest Nation
With elections just around the corner, we hear a lot about what's wrong with America. But there is much that is right. In fact, we live in the greatest nation.
I just returned from a 2,500-mile road trip across the West. Along the way, we saw Americans doing what we do best - living the legacy of our great nation. In the country and in the cities people were working together creating a strong sense of community, making certain a culture of hope, happiness and expectation of a better future is passed on to the next generation.
As business and community leaders, let's commit to work together to continue the great American tradition of team work and perseverance to build strong, healthy communities for today and the generations to come.
