Loup Basin Public Health Department to assume WIC services, launch CredibleMind and expand oral health
Summary
Loup Basin Public Health Department representatives told the Custer County Board that LBPHD will take over WIC services, plans to launch an online platform called CredibleMind in May, and expects to expand oral-health services; officials raised questions about pool inspection authority after LB759.
Amanda Jeffres and Stephanie Gideon of Loup Basin Public Health Department provided the board with program and service updates at the April 28 meeting.
Jeffres and Gideon said LBPHD will assume WIC services for the area and plans to launch a new online platform, CredibleMind, in May. The department also expects to expand oral-health services in the county.
They raised a procedural question tied to recent state legislation, LB759, noting that the law has left unclear whether pool-inspection responsibility will fall to the county, municipal governments or the health department. The board and department representatives agreed that authority and implementation logistics still need clarification.
The presentation was informational; no formal action was taken. The board asked staff to monitor the transition and to report back on any resource or funding implications for county services.
