County to expand MIH coverage with second coordinator, staff says
Summary
Perquimans County officials heard an update on the Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) program and approved recruitment for a second MIH coordinator to enable 24/7 service and reduce response wait times; staff also updated the Board on the EMP Grant.
Patricia Mount-Joy Riddick, the county’s MIH coordinator, told the Board the county has begun recruitment for a second MIH coordinator so the program can provide 24/7 service to residents, which county staff said will reduce waiting times and improve access to supportive services.
Riddick also updated commissioners on the status of an EMP Grant. No formal action or budget changes were requested during the presentation; the Board received the update and did not vote on additional funding at the meeting.
