San Francisco Health Commission reelects Bernal as president and Green as vice president

The San Francisco Health Commission re‑elected its leadership at the March 21 meeting, keeping Commissioner Dan Bernal as president and Commissioner Green as vice president.

Vice President Green nominated Bernal for another term, praising his experience and leadership during the city’s recent public‑health challenges. "You are a true civic treasure," Green said when nominating Bernal.

Commissioner Tessie Guillermo nominated Commissioner Green for another term as vice president and described her preparation and dedication to Laguna Honda and other commission responsibilities. "She has shown true dedication to the mission," Guillermo said.

Both nominees accepted their nominations and thanked the commission. Bernal said he was "humbled" by the support and described several priorities he hopes to continue, including Laguna Honda’s recertification, the city’s Getting to Zero HIV initiative and addressing street overdoses and mental‑health implementation.

Commissioners approved both leadership nominations by voice votes; the record in the transcript shows no opposition. The decisions were procedural; commissioners used the votes to then move on to policy updates and a lengthy recertification briefing for Laguna Honda.
