Butler County signs MOU with Reno County for temporary WIC dietitian coverage and plan support
Summary
Butler County approved a memorandum of understanding with Reno County Health Department to provide WIC dietitian coverage and help with the annual Nutrition Services Plan after the county's dietitian gave notice; Reno County will assist while Butler County continues recruitment.
Broderick Bean of the Butler County Health Department explained that the county's WIC dietitian gave notice in September 2025 and Butler County has been unable to hire a replacement; one candidate declined. Reno County Health Department offered temporary coverage: Reno employs three full-time WIC dietitians and agreed to assist with high-risk participant contacts and the annual Nutrition Services Plan. The Board approved the Memorandum of Understanding and authorized the Chair to sign, vote 5-0.
Bean said Butler County will continue recruitment efforts while Reno County provides interim services. The agreement allows Butler County to ensure WIC clients with high-risk nutritional needs continue to receive dietitian contacts and that required Nutrition Services Plan work moves forward without interruption.
