What

Our annual “Coming Home” event invites retired employees of San Diego County to celebrate County sites. On October 4th, we invite you to join your fellow RESDC members in “coming home” to the County’s new North Inland Live Well Center in Escondido.

Opened in 2015, the center serves as a community hub for health and social services. The center also houses the County of San Diego’s Military and Veterans Resource center, including many community-based organizations dedicated to assisting military veterans and their dependents and survivors.

Our event will kick off with welcoming remarks from Kristin Gaspar, Vice Chairwoman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Prior to becoming a Supervisor, Gaspar was an Encinitas City Council Member and went on to become the first Mayor ever elected in that city. Supervisor Gaspar believes in fiscal discipline and accountability. She is a proponent of protecting the environment and preserving open spaces. Other issues that are important to Supervisor Gaspar include: the growing homeless problem around the county, public safety, and improving our streets, infrastructure and neighborhoods. Recently, she partnered with her colleagues on a County initiative to help those with Alzheimer’s receive the proper care they need. Kristin was born and raised in North County and is proud to represent her hometown community.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Nick Yphantides, who currently serves as the Chief Medical Officer for San Diego County and its 3.3 million residents (1% of America's population). He is the Founding Co-Chair of San Diego's Childhood Obesity Initiative, was the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of one the largest network of Community Clinics in San Diego County, the CMO of the Council of Community Clinics and was the publicly elected Chairman of the Board for Palomar Health, the largest Public Hospital District in California. Dr. Nick currently serves on several Boards including San Diego Health Connect (our regional Health Information Exchange), the San Diego County Medical Society, Champions for health and several other community based and charity organizations.
