Board forwards Men’s Health Week resolution to county board
Summary
The Board of Health voted to forward a resolution declaring June 15–21, 2026 as Men’s Health Week to the full county board, recommending presentation on the regular county‑board agenda to increase visibility and support for related initiatives.
The Marquette County Board of Health voted to forward to the full county board a resolution declaring June 15–21, 2026 as Men’s Health Week after discussion about whether to place the resolution on the regular county‑board agenda for broader visibility.
Jamie explained the Men’s Health Network’s request and said the resolution aims to increase attention to men’s preventive care needs and associated funding opportunities. Board members discussed whether to present the resolution at the county‑board regular agenda (rather than the consent agenda) so the issue would receive an explanation and public attention; chair Judy Nigber and county administrator Ron Marger recommended a regular‑agenda presentation. The committee voted to forward the resolution to county board (voice vote; transcript records one noted opposition but the motion carried).
