Health department outlines nurse recruitment, staffing changes and upcoming office move
Summary
Staff reported active recruitment for multiple nurse positions, a new accreditation and expansion coordinator appointment, an internal promotion to outreach director, and plans to relocate administrative functions to 111 Southeast Third Street by month end.
Health department leaders updated the Evansville City Health Board on staffing and facilities. They said recruiting nurses remains difficult but applications are being received and the department is recruiting at local nursing schools and on job platforms.
Staff described recent organizational changes: Lance’s previous role was split into clinic director and outreach director; the department promoted an internal candidate to serve as accreditation and expansion coordinator, and Carissa was named outreach director to oversee PREA 3 and health promotions and to focus on grants and foundation work.
Recruitment posts were placed in late November and on job sites; staff said some positions were posted earlier to allow hires to start in January. The board discussed using LinkedIn and other social media to broaden outreach.
Separately, staff said the department plans to move administrative, health promotions, environmental and finance teams to 111 Southeast Third Street by the end of the month. Remodeling is complete and the county IT vendor will connect services; clinic and lab functions will remain at the current site.
No personnel votes or hiring approvals were recorded in the transcript; staff said recruitment and internal promotions are underway.
