“As one who has known and admired Barbara Drennen for many years, I am happy to endorse her candidacy for Hospital Commissioner.  Barbara has long been a voice for the needs of children and others who cannot speak for themselves.  Anyone who is familiar with her nonprofit work knows that Barbara is a careful manager with strong commonsense and integrity. These qualities make her an excellent choice for Hospital Commissioner.” -Washington State Representative Dave Upthegrove

“I heartily endorse Barbara Drennen a for Public Hospital District 1 Commissioner.  Barbara is an extraordinary grassroots leader and a tireless advocate for children’s health.   Through the founding and operation of Pediatric Interim Care Center, she has created a national model for the care of drug-affected infants and made a real difference in the lives of thousands of children and their families.  As a grandfather of two of those children, I appreciate the passion Barbara has brought to her pioneering work.  As a legislator, I appreciate her pragmatism and the millions of healthcare dollars she has saved through the operation of PICC.  Barbara’s combination of passion and pragmatism will be a tremendous asset to the Hospital District Board.”     – U.S. Representative  Dave Reichert

"Having worked with Barbara Drennen for more than 20 years at Pediatric Interim Care Center, I know she is hard-working and dedicated to promoting the health and welfare of the babies and parents in the community.  She would make an excellent Commissioner for the District."
-Peyton Gaunt, M.D.
