Bobbi Jean Tanberg Honored as Los Angeles County
Employee-of-the-Month
The Board of Supervisors today honored
Bobbi Jean Tanberg as the June 2005 Employee-of-the-Month.
Tanberg is a 15-year county employee and she currently serves as an
Occupational Therapy Assistant with the Department of Health
Services at the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in
Downey. There, she provides a wide range of services for both
children and adults with physical disabilities.
Tanberg, an enthusiastic sports fan, set her sights on making the
U.S. Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team in 2000, and after many
years of hard work she made the team. Her positive outlook on life
makes her instrumental in the Positive Self-Image Life Coach Program
and she also serves as an excellent role model at Rancho.
On her personal time, Tanberg is a passionate community advocate for
the disabled. In 2004, she developed and implemented the spinal cord
injury helpline which helps spinal injury patients locate much
needed community resources. “Bobbi’s tireless work in the community
is a tremendous inspiration to us all," said Knabe. “We are very
lucky to have such a devoted person working at Rancho Los Amigos
National Rehabilitation Center.”
