Dee Tolles to serve on hospital board

Dee Tolles, a former Menlo Park councilman and mayor, will serve on the Sequoia Hospital Foundation's board of directors for a three-year term.

The foundation, which supports the nonprofit Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City, announced Mr. Tolles' election to the board in a May 14 press release.

Mr. Tolles recently retired as senior vice president and regional director of Union Bank of California in Palo Alto. He has served on the boards of several local nonprofits.

"As Sequoia has cared for me, I look forward to giving back to support the hospital by working with the Foundation to assure that the physicians and staff have the tools necessary to deliver consistently world-class care," Mr. Tolles was quoted as saying in the press release.

Mr. Tolles lives in Menlo Park with his wife, Laura Lou Tolles.

Dee Tolles was a great councilman and mayor. He always did what he thought was best for the city of Menlo Park and did not pursue personal agendas at the expense of the residents as the three most recent mayors have done. Given his level-headedness, sharp business acumen and the desire to do the right thing, even when it goes against the current in vogue political dogma, Dee Tolles is an outstanding addition to the Sequoia Hospital Board. Welcome Dee. You are the best!
