Lorie Hennessey Animal Shelter Administrative Services Officer

Lorie Hennessey was born and raised in Southern California and later attended Northern Arizona University, where she earned her degree in public relations. Her career began at the Phoenix Zoo, launching what would become a long and meaningful journey in the nonprofit sector. Lorie spent much of her career engaging and mobilizing the entertainment industry in support of the missions of both the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America/Make-A-Wish International and the USO. She also worked directly with wish families, leading the Make-A-Wish program for the Northeastern and Northern Nevada region. In 2019, she served as the director of the Nevada County Animal Shelter under Sammie’s Friends who operated the full operation, which was also her first big introduction to Nevada County. That same year, Lorie completed the Nevada County Citizens Academy, an experience that sparked her interest in local government and ultimately led her back in 2023 to support the county’s animal shelter contract and Homeland Security–related grants. She now serves as the Administrative Services Officer, overseeing the Animal Shelter Program, the Community Spay and Neuter Program, and supporting discussions around a prospective new animal shelter. Outside of work, Lorie enjoys hiking, paddle boarding, exploring the outdoors with her dogs (including occasionally carrying one in a backpack), and spending time with her husband, two sons, and close friends throughout Nevada County.

Deborah Chong Holistic Physician & OB/GYN

Dr. Deborah Chong is a holistic physician and formally trained as an OB/GYN. She believes that true health exists when mind, body and spirit are all balanced and healthy. She understands how trauma affects health and can cause both physical and mental disease. Deborah was born in Jamaica and grew up both in Toronto, Canada and Kingston Jamaica. She went to undergrad at Columbia University, medical school at Boston University and residency at University of Miami. She then moved to Northern California in 2003. Her first job was as assistant clinical professor at UC Davis. Her love for travel and adventure resulted in work in Tanzania and Jamaica. She eventually moved to Oakland CA in 2008 where she became Chief of GYN at the safety net Hospital in Oakland. While mothering young twins, her own childhood traumas started surfacing. As she started the work on healing these traumas, she now had the resources to integrate these tools into her own practice of medicine to help other women do deep healing work. Along with her Western Medical training, she has further training in nutrition, lifestyle medicine, herbal medicine, psychedelics and death and dying. Separating from the father of her children and seeking a peaceful life, she moved to GV in 2020 with her twins. She has been practicing medicine now for 25 years and has developed her own unique style focusing on deeper healing and how trauma affects health. She still practices acute care OB/GYN and delivers babies. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, hiking, yoga and evenings out with her partner. She is active in the community supporting both kids programs and women’s health.
