Court recognizes newly appointed county health authority Dr. Jim Hall
Summary
The court formally recognized Dr. Jim Hall, who said he is a retired Air Force physician, attended medical school in San Antonio, has 20 years of hospital experience and is the county's recently appointed health authority available to the community.
At the start of the session the court recognized Dr. Jim Hall as the county's recently appointed county health authority. Dr. Hall introduced himself, said he is retired from the Air Force, attended medical school in San Antonio and has worked in hospitals for roughly 20 years.
Dr. Hall told the court he splits time between the hospital and EMS, said he is available to the community “seven days a week,” and encouraged people to contact him by email for questions. The court thanked him for taking the appointment.
Why it matters: appointing a county health authority designates a medical professional to advise the county on public-health matters and to serve as a local point of contact for health-related issues.
Quote: “I work 24/7 between the hospital and EMS so I will respond to everything as I can,” Dr. Hall said when introduced.
