Leader’s Biography 2006:
Executive Director, Coastal Family Health Center
Dawsey may not be superman, but he applied almost superhuman organizational skills to keep health services going to victims of the storms in Coastal Mississippi when so many providers failed to go on. Only someone with Dawsey’s passion, leadership and experience to help people and the commitment to see the organization survive could collaborate with others in his own and the extended community to make it happen. When the country of Qatar asked the state’s governor to help them identify recipients of the $100 million they were donating to the relief effort, Dawsey and his work stood out. Coastal will receive $3.4 million from Qatar to rebuild infrastructure and resume much needed health services to the 32,000 Coastal Mississippians Coastal serves.
