Who Was Sandra Shaw?
Sandra Shaw dedicated her life to assist others in understanding their behav
iors and how environs can assist in creating a healthy lifestyle. As CEO of the Bert Nash Center, Shaw created, developed and strived to provide the best behavioral health care for the residents of Douglas County. Her passion and dedication guided her efforts and those of her staff for three decades.
Dr. Shaw knew how important connecting with nature is for individuals and their mental health and well-being. A natural park and walking trail would be a wonderful lasting tribute to Dr. Shaw and her efforts.
