Garfield County public health reports Health Fair cost, eyes telemedicine grant
Summary
Public Health reported the county’s Health Fair cost about $2,300 last year, confirmed clinic participation this year and said staff are pursuing a grant to support emergency services including telemedicine.
Sherlie Hains, Garfield County public health official, told the Board of County Commissioners on April 8 that last year’s county Health Fair cost about $2,300 and that the county clinic will participate in the event this year. Hains said staff are exploring a grant that could bolster emergency services and specifically mentioned telemedicine as a potential use of funds.
The update came during the commissioners’ regular meeting in Garfield County. Hains summarized the Health Fair’s past cost and participation levels and described the grant discussion as an effort to “improve emergency services,” including remote medical support; no application or award was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The commissioners did not take formal action on the Health Fair or the grant during the session. Hains’ remarks were presented as informational; any next steps, timelines or funding amounts for a grant application were not specified in the minutes.
