Since July 2001, Lissman, 55, has headed the 1,500- employee Seniors and People with Disabilities group that comprises 39 percent of the DHS budget. “I’ve worked hard to achieve the goals that Orego- nians have for serving seniors and people with disabilities,” Lissman said. “It’s a challeng- ing job, and I look forward to putting my experience and energy to work in another area of state government,” she said. “Lydia has done excellent work for us,” said DHS Direc- tor Bobby S. Mink. “She and her team have preserved ser- vices during some of the toughest fiscal times Oregon has seen. She has also re- sponded vigorously to legisla- tive mandates for greater ac- countability in our statewide services for seniors and people with disabilities,” said Mink. “Lydia leaves a strong executive team led by her dep- uty, James Toews,” Mink said. “He is a highly qualified individual who cares deeply about services for seniors and people with disabilities.” Toews, 54, of Portland, has been at DHS since 1985. The DHS Seniors and People with Disabilities group is responsible for services to seniors and people with physi- cal and developmental dis- abilities. It also determines eligibility for Social Security disability benefits under a contract with the federal gov- ernment. Lissman has been a DHS employee since 1982. Her ex- perience includes working as assistant administrator of DHS’ former Adult and Fam- ily Services (AFS) Division; branch manager for AFS; and state director of the DHS vol- unteer program. She also helped create state strategies to increase Oregonians’ access to health care, and played a prominent role in Oregon’s nationally recognized work in welfare reform. “I’m grateful for the op- portunity to serve Orego- nians,” Lissman said. “I credit the team for improving ac- countability and gaining needed efficiencies without sacrificing our most important services to seniors and people with disabilities,” said Liss- man.

AWARE brings together health-care providers, health plans, community organiza- tions, industry and academic institutions to educate con- sumers on the proper uses of antibiotics. “Resistant bacteria are an emerging problem,” said Dr. Mel Kohn, state epidemiolo- eases, and they are difficult to treat.” Kohn said that too many prescriptions are being written unnecessarily and patients often ask for antibiotics when they aren’t needed, helping create drug-resistant bacteria. The problem recently drew new attention when the maker of a top-selling antibi- otic said it would sponsor public service announcements about the problem of overuse as part of a legal settlement. DHS has tracked patterns pneumonia and ear infections in the Portland area, since 1996. Every year the bacte- ria’s resistance to antibiotics has increased, said Kohn. AWARE’s plan includes cautioning consumers against pressuring their health-care providers to prescribe antibi- otics, using antibiotics for vi- ral infections like colds, fin- ishing an entire round of a prescribed medication, even if symptoms lessen, and to never share antibiotics, or use them without a prescription.
