District Governor Juliet Altenburg - annual visit and installation of new club members
Closing - Four Way Test
DG Juliet Altenburg, RN, MSN
Juliet was born and raised in Palmerton PA and currently resides in New Cumberland, PA with her husband Rob, a fellow Rotarian. She earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Nursing at DeSales University in Center Valley, PA. From 1984–2003 she worked as a critical care nurse, educator, and Trauma Program Manager at Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) in Allentown PA. Since 2003 she has served as Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems (PTSF)—the accrediting body for trauma centers in Pennsylvania. Through her work at PTSF she serves on multiple boards including the PA Division of the American Trauma Society, and the PA Emergency Health Services Council. She is a strong advocate of the STOP THE BLEED ™ program and is building partnerships between hospitals and Rotary clubs to teach bleeding control techniques and provide hemorrhage control supplies to teachers, and first responders.
Juliet’s passion for Rotary is fueled by her membership in the Rotary Club of Mechanicsburg-North (RCMN) since 2013. From 2014-2021, she was a member of the RCMN Board of Directors and served as the Club President in 2019-2020. She and her husband Rob are Major Donors, Paul Harris Society Members, and Polio Plus Society Members. In 2020 she formed the District 7390 Safety Committee in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which acted as a role model for other districts.
Juliet and her husband Rob are members of St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus Church in New Cumberland, PA. When not involved in Rotary, they enjoy time volunteering with the Central PA Medical Reserve Corps, Civil Air Patrol, and the Keystone Trails Association.
