Health officer outlines staff changes, harm‑reduction launch and RxKids outcomes
Summary
Health Officer Guy Miller announced staffing changes, a planned harm-reduction program launch in April, and RxKids program metrics: 113 families enrolled, 35 babies born and $150,000 in direct financial support distributed.
Guy Miller, the health officer, provided operational updates at the April 1 meeting, including upcoming Public Health Week (April 6–12), two new hires (Nurse Practitioner Melody Shimpano and Program Support Specialist Stephanie Travis), and the resignation of the Environmental Health Supervisor with a new supervisor expected to start in May.
Miller described program expansions: a new NP in sexual health to increase clinic hours and family‑planning availability; a harm‑reduction program slated to launch in April offering rapid HIV and hepatitis C testing, overdose‑prevention resources and linkage to care; and continued growth of the RxKids program, which the minutes record as having enrolled 113 families, resulting in 35 babies born and approximately $150,000 in direct support distributed to families.
