The Logan County Department of Public Health celebrated the 16th
National Public Health Week April 5-11 with an employee appreciation
lunch on April 8 in the Alumni Room at the Lincoln College dining
hall. This year’s National Public Health Week theme was "A Healthier
America: One Community at a Time." The theme underscores the almost
inseparable bond linking healthy individuals and healthy communities
to a healthy nation. Healthy communities can improve the quality of
life for all who live, work, worship, learn and play there -- so
that every person can make healthier choices.
During lunch, health department employees were
honored for their public health service to the community, and those
reaching service milestones were presented with certificates of
appreciation.
The employees receiving service certificates were
(back row, left to right) Suzie Billington, CNA, 20 years; Heather
Vose, five years; Debbie Hoover, R.N., MA-C, 20 years; Kenda Jones,
R.N., 20 years; and Jan Hashman, 15 years. In addition, Marcia
Dowling, R.N., (front) received a certificate of excellence for
her 25-year contribution to the Community Health Fair.
