LIVINGSTON WOULDN'T EXIST TODAY IF IT WASN'T FOR DR. HAIR
Few people have affected Ventura County more positively than Dr. Charles M. Hair (1920-2019).
To get him to talk about his accomplishments was difficult, though. He was a humble man with a
good sense of humor and a genuine concern for people. When you did get him talking, though,
he could tell wonderful stories.
As Dr. Hair put it, he saw hospital patients "leaving sicker and quicker." He recognized the County
had a greater need for services to help sick people stay in their homes to heal. In time, the Ventura
Visiting Nurses became Livingston Memorial Visiting Nurse Association. Livingston has been filling
the need for home healthcare for the past 72 years. He was also instrumental in adding hospice care
to Livingston's services.
Rarely does one person impact Ventura County as much as Dr. Hair did. Livingston, as we know
it today, wouldn't exist without the genial, affable Charles Hair. He touched the lives of countless
Ventura County residents, both directly and indirectly. He helped make the world a better place,
and we're grateful for that.
