Optim Medical Center urges masking, sets drive‑thru vaccine clinic; county staff report sampler date and building repairs
Summary
Optim Medical Center Screven urged masking amid rising COVID cases and announced a drive‑thru vaccine clinic for Aug. 26; county staff also noted the annual sampler on Oct. 23 and planned repairs at the OTC building.
During commission and staff reports at the Aug. 10, 2021 meeting, Lagina Evans, CEO of Optim Medical Center Screven, said the hospital is urging people to wear masks because of an increase in COVID cases and announced a drive‑thru vaccine clinic on Thursday, Aug. 26, 2021 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Commissioner Mike Dixon suggested forming a committee (that would include Commissioner Allison Willis) to examine Road Department issues. Interim County Manager informed the board the annual sampler is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021, and mentioned upcoming building repairs at the OTC building. County Attorney Hubert Reeves said he is still waiting for a court date in ongoing matters with the City of Sylvania.
Why it matters: the hospital announcement affects public‑health outreach and gives residents a scheduled opportunity to get vaccinated; the sampler date and facility repairs are local calendar and operations items that may affect residents and county services.
