Dr. Jonathan Sherin said he made the decision after 'a serious health scare ... and weeks of subsequent soul searching.'
Voluntary treatment is always the first choice. But when severely ill people reject that, we need better tools.“I know firsthand that it isn’t easy to work within a system that is often focused more on taking care of various bureaucratic processes than on the communities we are here to serve,” Sherin said.
Prior to coming to the county, Sherin focused much of his work on serving vulnerable populations, especially veterans experiencing homelessness and mental health challenges. He previously worked at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs and the nonprofit Volunteers of America, which administers healthcare and housing programs for low-income people.
Supervisor Janice Hahn, whose 4th District includes several beach cities, said in a statement that Sherin has been a dedicated public servant.
