Karen Masshoff TNR
Karen Masshoff has been hired
by the Morrow County Health
Department as the new tobacco
prevention coordinator.
Masshoff, a native of Oregon,
was bom in Portland and raised
in Milwaukie. She has a BA
degree from the University of
Northern Colorado. She majored
in secondary education with a
focus on science. She taught for
six years, three outside the
United States. After she married,
and for the next 20 years, she
lived and worked throughout the
Northwest.
At one point while living in
Portland, Masshoff applied and
was accepted into the Cytology
Training Program at Oregon
Health Sciences University. This
year-long course, within the
pathology department, taught her
to microscopically screen for
cancer. She worked in various
medical laboratories throughout
Washington and Oregon for the
next 14 years.
The past 10 years Masshoff has
been working with various
populations of young people:
teenage girls within a behavioral
health treatment setting and then
with teenage boys at the
dormitory in Spray.
She took the tobacco prevention
coordinator's position within the
health department because of her
longstanding interest in public
health education. During her
work in the laboratory and in
ongoing trainings, Masshoff said
she saw many kinds of lung
cancers caused by the use of
tobacco.

cancers told the stories of very
sick people whose lives were
unnecessarily cut short, she said.
"Working with the girls in
Portland taught me about the
power of addictions, that of
tobacco being one of the
strongest."
Masshoff says she views
tobacco prevention in Morrow
County as
a "wonderful
opportunity to bring community
people together who have an
interest in seeing that the tobacco
industry does not continue its
corruptive influence over the
lives of our children."
