Presented to
LISA GURZI
LISA GURZI, a Registered Nurse at Desert Regional Medical
Center, is fulfilling her lifelong dream of helping women make a
smoother transition into motherhood as Nurse/Manager of the
Healthy Beginnings program. Through the program, she and her
staff of nurses assist parents-to-be and new parents by teaching
childbirth, breast feeding, infant CPR and newborn care classes to
families.
Lisa became an RN more than 13 years ago, attending College
of the Desert, and pursuing becoming an International Board
Certified Lactation Consultant at the University of San Diego.
She has been described as a true leader and advocate for
women and their health issues, as well as a dedicated and
professional nurse. By sharing her time and expertise with fellow
health care colleagues, there is no doubt that she is making a
positive difference in peoples' lives.
Lisa was recently recognized by Supervisor John Benoit as the
"Riverside County Woman of the Year for the Fourth District,"
acknowledging her outstanding community service and leadership
on women's issues, thereby making Riverside County a better place.
In addition to her work with Healthy Beginnings, Lisa is the
mother of three children, James - 22, Julia - 15, and Justin - 14,
and is a grandmother to Lauren, age three.
On behalf of the City Council and the citizens of the City of
Palm Springs, I am honored to recognize LISA GURZI and express
appreciation for her outstanding contributions to the community.
Presented this 201 day of April 2011.
