CHURCH ROCK, N.M. – On October 28, the Navajo Department of Health (NDOH) celebrated the retirement of Ruth E. White, honoring her 37 years of dedicated service to the Navajo Nation under the Kayenta Public Health Nursing Program.
“Ruth has dedicated her entire career to the Navajo Nation, even when higher-paying positions were available elsewhere,” said Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren. “She has demonstrated a true love for her position and for the people she works with.”
After nearly four decades of service, Ruth received her first performance bonus last year under the leadership of Director Sherylene Yazzie.
“Ruth’s story reflects her extraordinary commitment,” said Director Yazzie. “It’s also a reminder that we must maintain performance evaluations to ensure that high-performing employees like Ruth receive their well-deserved step increases.”
President Nygren added, “Thank you, Ruth, for your years of compassion, dedication, and service to the Navajo people. Your commitment has left a lasting impact on the community and on the future of public health across the Nation.”
