Dorothy Cummings spent more than three decades as a social worker serving children and families across San Francisco and California’s Central Valley. She was a pioneer — and a person who believed that behavioral health was not a specialty, but a right. This fall, the Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health committed $500,000 to the University of the Pacific to create an endowed professorship in her name. The feature below, originally published by Pacific’s newsroom, tells her story and the impact this partnership will carry forward.
