i'm so pleased to have the opportunity to celebrate tracey packer. most recently our director of the community health equity promotion branch of the population health division. tracey started at dph in 1992 in health education at the prevention branch of our aids office. since that time, since those decades tracey has been a (inaudible) in the san francisco response to hiv aids since nearly the beginning and her career spanned the stunning advances in the science and policy of hiv prevention from highly active anti-ret row active treatments for people living with hiv to preexposure prophylaxis to prevent infection. centered the department work on the community in all areas of her expertise from the cdc grants to hiv planning council to getting to zero, tracey helped insure that the san francisco model of care and prevention was built with, by and for community. it is hard to imagine how we could get to where we are now with the city focused on our adacious goal of getting to zero hiv deaths infection and stigma without tracey's countless contribution
