Narrowing down selection for accreditation contractor.
Health Commissioner will provide updates about most recent phone call with candidate.
Crawford County Public Health is now accredited, and we will plan to meet with them later this month to discuss topics such as greater collaboration, project ideas, etc.

There have been a few applicants, though most are not interested after we ask them a screening question where we share the pay range and if that is acceptable to them.
Discussion on how to make this position more enticing based on the hours, no weekends, benefits, public health setting, etc. For example, Andy's idea is to include info on this at the same time as asking the screening question about the hourly wage.

Since the car is owned by the city, the mayor's office contacted Jason and requested the insurance information and contact info of the person who backed into it while backing out of their driveway.
Please see attached for incident report.

Patient fainted at health department on 5/23/2022. Patient was attended to and assured to be safe before leaving the facility. Patient declined transport by EMS. Parties involved submitted an incident report to Health Commissioner.

Health Commissioner periodically receives emails from the National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH) and wanted to verify if BOH members receive those, or if it is even pertinent to our needs. 
There is also a NALBOH Conference in Grand Rapids, MI from August 1-3. Please see attachment for more info.
