Sharon Arndt was recognized by the Board of Supervisors as a 2022 Onthank Award recipient.

Five county employees were recognized with the A. Heath Onthank Award for Merit, the highest honor awarded by the county to its employees, at the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 11. Among those recognized is Sharon Arndt, Director of the Community Health Development Division at the Fairfax County Health Department. 

Arndt led the development and implementation of a COVID-19 vaccine equity strategy to reach populations at high risk for contracting the virus and for experiencing worse health outcomes due to historical and systemic marginalization. Her hard work led to 717 equity clinics, accounting for 3.6% of COVID-19 vaccine doses, as well as contact with over 68,000 county residents. Under Arndt's leadership, there were hundreds of vaccine equity clinic events, enhancing the health and well-being of thousands of county residents.

Also recognized were Keisha Dotson, Amy Ginger, Dwayne Pelfrey, and Lisa Thompson. Congratulations to all of the awardees.
