Board renews and amends Medical Director contract with WMU for Dr. Nettleton
Summary
Calhoun County approved an amendment to renew its Medical Director contract with Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine for Dr. William Nettleton and backup staff, citing increased time the physician is dedicating to county matters.
The Calhoun County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 18 approved a contract amendment renewing the county's Medical Director agreement with Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine for Dr. William Nettleton and backup personnel.
Administrator/Controller Kelli Scott said the amendment is necessary because Dr. Nettleton is spending increased time on Calhoun County public-health matters. Commissioner Kathy‑Sue Vette moved to approve the amendment and Commissioner Jake Smith seconded; the board approved the amendment 7–0 (Res.029-2021).
Why it matters: The Medical Director provides oversight and clinical guidance to county public-health operations; increasing the physician's allocated time reflects greater county needs or workload for public-health services.
Next steps: County administration will finalize the amended contract and coordinate with Western Michigan University and Dr. Nettleton's office on implementation and backup coverage.
