All in the Family

Dr. Barbara Lee ('82)
After 17 years as a member of the Pottawattamie County Board of Heath, Barbara Lee decided it was time to step away when her current term ended. Lee joined the City of Council Bluffs Board of Health in 2006 just a couple of years after opening Valley View Veterinary Clinic with her husband Jody Strohbehn ('79). And she was the only board member who remained on the board after the public health department was moved under the purview of the county in 2016. When it came time to replace her on the board, the county's Board of Supervisors didn't have to look far to find a replacement, selecting her daughter Amber Strohbehn, a Kansas State DVM graduate, to fill Lee's long-held position. "I've always been proud of Amber for whatever she's done and I'm happy she's going to continue the community service the Strohbehns have done all these years," Lee said.
