Doug Campbell receives SEPHLI award
Campbell’s project was to develop a study to determine if the state’s new rules governing the decontamination of methamphetamine labs are effective in practice.
Other Division of Public Health employees in the 2004-2005 class were Carol Tant Children and Youth Branch; Susan Chappell-Witt, Heart Disease and Stoke Prevention; and Gustavo Fernandez, State Center for Health Statistics (now retired). Three local health directors were also in the class – Jane Murray from Scotland County (who won the “Best All-Around Scholar Award” for the year), Janice Patterson from Clay County, and Jenny Lassiter from Pamlico County. The leadership team that included Chappell-Witt won the year’s “SEPHLI Team Work” award. “This was a year-long effort, with a huge amount of time spent by me and others, and it’s nice to get acknowledged for that,” Campbell said. “The program is very demanding, but we get a lot of valuable things out of it. I'm very glad I was given this opportunity – I learned a huge amount and grew in many positive ways through the experience.” “My mentor was Dr. Ronald Levine, past state health director, who
met and worked with me, and I am very grateful to him for his help,”
Campbell said.
