DELAND -- Nine years after leaving for a post in Tallahassee and then even greener pastures in California, Dr. Bonita J. Sorensen realized there's no place like home as she returned to the helm of the Volusia County Health Department earlier this month.
Sorenson, who held the top post from 1996 to 2002, first left for a larger post as state deputy health director and then relocated to California to work for that state's health department as the chief deputy director of policy and programs.
Sorensen holds a medical doctor's degree from the University of Illinois and an M.B.A. from Nova Southeastern University.
