Summary
At its May 13 meeting the Davis County Board of Health appointed Mr. Swanson as vice chair and voted to forward Dr. Candace Smith’s name to the county commission for an at‑large physician seat. Members praised Smith’s pediatric and infectious‑disease experience.
The Davis County Board of Health appointed Mr. Swanson as vice chair and unanimously moved to forward Dr. Candace Smith’s nomination to the county commission for an at‑large medical seat during its May 13 meeting.
Board members said Dr. Smith, a pediatrician with infectious‑disease experience, is well qualified to fill the board’s medical requirement. "She's hardworking, likable. Patients really appreciate her care," a board member said in support of the recommendation. The board voted to forward the nomination to the commission for final appointment.
The board also completed a routine procedural vote to approve the minutes of its February meeting before moving on to substantive items. The vice‑chair nomination came from the executive committee and was confirmed by a voice vote. The board discussed plans to meet a candidate to fill a dentist slot created when a previous member stepped down and agreed to bring a recommendation at the next meeting.
The board did not take the commission’s final appointment power for Dr. Smith; the recommendation was forwarded to the county commission for action.
Next steps: the recommendation will be transmitted to the county commission for formal appointment; the board indicated it will report back on any subsequent confirmations.
