Victor Mondragon and Dr. Joe Robertson have been elected to the board of trustees of Mid-Columbia Medical Center.  Mondragon was born and raised in The Dalles and grew up working with his parents in the local seasonal cherry harvests.  After receiving his bachelor’s degree from Oregon State University in 2014, Mondragon returned to the Gorge, where he currently works at the Hood River County Health Department as an outreach and enrollment specialist for the Oregon Health Plan, and he brings to the MCMC Board a background in social services with expertise in serving sexual and domestic violence survivors in rural communities.  Robertson has lived in the Gorge for many years and is now semi-retired, but still has an appointment as Professor Emeritus of Ophthalmology for Oregon Health Sciences University and remains clinically active in his role as Director of the Ophthalmic Ultrasound Service.  He serves as OHSU Director of Global Health and is also a member of the board of the Ford Family Foundation.
