Dear Mr. Kilman,
I am submitting my resume and statement of qualification to be considered for the
position of Health Authority Physician for the City of Lubbock. I would like the
opportunity to extend my existing interest and involvement in the public health of the
Lubbock community by using my knowledge and expertise to assist the health
department in carrying out its duties.
I have both an M.D. and MPH degree and over fifteen years of experience in field of
public health. My career began as a public health service physician in Brownsville Texas
working with indigent and migrant children. I have worked at the national level as a
medical officer in the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health developing and overseeing
child health related grants and programs and as a consultant in the initial development of
the National Vaccine Compensation Program. As a medical director in the Dallas County
Health Department, I overview maternal and child health initiatives and created a mobile -
based healthcare for homeless program. In Austin, I was medical director of Community
and Neighborhood Services and oversaw numerous public health initiatives- including
education efforts to reduce STD's and improve immunization rates.
I am currently an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at TTUHSC and the Director of the
Center for Tobacco Prevention and Control. I have been an active member of the Board
of Health for the past three years and have working knowledge of the duties as described.
Thank you for your consideration of this application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Donna Bacchi, M.D., MPH
