Rosie Nava-Bermudez: Head and Shoulders above the Rest

Walking into the Family Treehouse in Imperial, you’re overwhelmed by bright, stimulating colors throughout the facility. Cartoon murals embrace the wall with paintings of children, trees, flowers and exotic animals. Parents run around with their laughing children playing tag. Some are crawling through an elaborate jungle gym that almost reaches the ceiling, while others are engrossed in reading children’s books. Active interaction like this is an important family value. Values are something Rosie Nava-Bermudez, a long-time advocate for family health and awareness, has always endorsed; the power of family.
