Johnson County ratifies health department travel to NACCHO Preparedness Summit
Summary
The board ratified the Johnson County Health Department’s attendance at the NACCHO Preparedness Summit April 29–May 2 in San Antonio; the trip was funded by the regional healthcare coalition and included Director Betsy Swearingen’s note that Lisa Brown will attend.
The Johnson County Board of Commissioners on April 28 ratified health department travel to the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) Preparedness Summit, April 29–May 2 in San Antonio.
Betsy Swearingen, director of the Johnson County Health Department, said Lisa Brown would attend and that the travel would be fully funded by the regional health-care coalition (referred to in the meeting as "health care d 5 health care coalition" in the transcript). The board voted to ratify the attendance; the transcript records the motion as carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: attendance at preparedness conferences is a routine part of public-health coordination and training. The transcript does not include travel cost figures or additional conditions for the ratification.
No further directives or budget approvals were recorded for this item beyond the ratification vote.
