Board chair urges residents to bring concerns after Davidson Local post

The board opened the April meeting with a brief discussion of a Davidson Local Facebook post whose headline read, "Some have expressed concerns about Davidson County Board of Health." The chair said clicking the post led only to the meeting agenda and invited any residents with concerns to bring them to the board for review. "Some have expressed concerns about Davidson County Board of Health," the chair said when explaining the confusion around the post.

Health Director Lillian told the board staff contacted the outlet after seeing the post and that county public information staff noted this was the first time the outlet posted an agenda that way. Lillian and the chair encouraged residents to attend board meetings or contact the department directly so the board can address concrete issues rather than rely on secondhand headlines.
