Peter van Dyck

Peter was my wonderful boss while in utah.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I worked with Peter in the Utah Department of Health for a number of years. He was a man who was committed to improving the health of mothers and children. He continued this commitment when he was appointed Director of the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau. With his leadership numerous programs for mothers and children including those with special health care needs. Peter developed an accountability system for states´ MCH federal and state funds to demonstrate the improvement in the health of mothers and children through state services and programs. Peter´s vision continues today through federal and state programs.

Dr. Peter van Dyck enhanced my life forever working in the Utah Department Health - as a brilliant leader and "Boss". His professional and personal life has enriched people he touched (usually without them knowing it!!) throughout his life! I am a better person because he helped me while we worked together in the work of Public Health of Utah!

I will miss you Dr. van Dyck!!
May you keep helping others forever!

An amazing story of a life well lived. I wish I could of known him.
