Mary Margaret Fouse-Bishop, RN, BSN

" As a public health nurse, I have worked to improve the health of children, youth and families for over 13 years. I believe all human beings have the right to reach their full developmental potential and be supported to lead healthy lives. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with DDRC board members, staff and families to strengthen access to supports and systems of care for individuals with different abilities. Each person has strengths and can make positive contributions to our community. I support DDRC's mission to ensure members in our community are given the opportunity to participate fully in a dignified manner. As Nashira Baril once said “Simply accommodating people in systems that were never designed for their survival is inherently inequitable.” I look forward to working with our community to create a more inclusive and equitable society in which everyone feels a sense of belonging and is valued.
