In King County, Quiana has served as Vice Chair of the Board of Health, chaired the inaugural Health and Homelessness Workgroup, and contributed to adoption of the county’s first Community Health Improvement Plan. She also serves on Washington’s Maternal Mortality Review Panel, advancing equity-focused recommendations to reduce maternal deaths statewide.
