Today we remember, with great fondness, Deanna Mills, our Board Chair who passed away in March after a short illness. Deanna was an inspirational leader who believed everyone should have access to high-quality, affordable medical care. In her four-decade career working with community health centers in Minnesota, Deanna saw health equity as social justice for populations that are often overlooked. She brought her passion and insights to our Board and shared DCMC’s drive to grow its services, outreach and partnerships. Deanna’s leadership and future-oriented vision left a legacy that will embolden our mission for years.

--Reflections from DCMC--
“In all, I help others. I support others to do their work. All the time people are coming into my office, they are coming to ask questions and get answers. I make sure the doctors they have everything they need, and my other co-workers, that they have everything they need, too.” - Marcy, Personal Secretary, Director’s Office

During the pandemic, DCMC saw fewer pregnant women from Dodoma’s surrounding rural areas coming for care. In response, the community health team committed to helping improve maternal health in rural areas by expanding its emergency obstetrics skills training programs for rural health providers.
