The San Francisco Health Commission on Sept. 6 adopted a resolution honoring Tracy Packer for 30 years of service at the Department of Public Health, recognizing her role in HIV prevention, community engagement and work on equity initiatives.
Dr. Susan Phillips, population health division director, introduced the resolution and noted Packer's long tenure beginning in 1992 and leadership across HIV prevention, CDC grants and the "Getting to 0" initiative. The resolution describes Packer as instrumental to San Francisco's approach to HIV care and prevention and credited her for community‑centered work spanning chronic and communicable disease prevention.
Tracy Packer addressed the commission and thanked colleagues, saying the honor "means everything to me" and emphasizing the value of community partnership in shaping public‑health practice. Commissioners praised Packer's integrity and listening leadership; President Bernal and others described her work as foundational to the city's public‑health successes.
The commission moved and seconded the measure and, on roll call, voted to adopt the resolution. The commission also invited Packer to offer brief remarks and wished her well in her next chapter.
The resolution passed with unanimous support and no amendments reported at the meeting.
The action is ceremonial; next procedural steps will be internal recognition and the department's continued execution of programs Packer helped shape.
