The Commuter: Public health commute just a time to play for me The Commuter: Todd R. Hansen I recently took a virtual commute through the career of a retiring public health nurse – a thorough narrative worthy of one of Supervisor John Vasquez’s memory tours. It even mentioned a fire. Stacey Souza worked as a public health nurse for more than 30 years for Solano County. Incredible. One of her colleagues, who grew up in the profession under Souza’s tutelage, became emotional during her presentation. But her emotion was less about saying so long to Souza, though I am sure that had plenty of deep and mixed feelings, but rather it was about the difficult and personal work they do, and in often difficult environments.
