Officials with the Tulsa Health Department announced the passing of Division Chief of Adolescent and Child Health, Pam Rask.

“Pam was the epitome of what a public health professional is: strong, courageous, dedicated, and with the greatest heart for service I have ever met in my public health career,” THD Executive Director Dr. Bruce Dart says.

Dr. Dart says, “COVID-19 has taken too many of our loved ones. Everyone please stay vigilant and stay safe.”

The statement also says, "during Pam’s nearly 35-year career at THD, she oversaw the development and implementation of community health programs to improve the health and well-being of Tulsa County residents.
