Dr. William Remington was recommended for reappointment to serve another four-year term as Kosciusko County Health Officer during the Kosciusko County Board of Health meeting Monday, Oct. 18.
Remington’s current term ends Dec. 31.
He has served as the county health officer continuously since 1994.
Kosciusko County Commissioners will have the final say regarding Remington’s reappointment.
Remington provided a COVID update during Monday night’s Board of Health meeting in which he discussed immunization rates, school mask mandates and the Delta variant, among other things.
“What really spooked a lot of us was the emergence of more pediatric cases,” Remington said. “Our own local statistics … with the number of pediatric, school-age kids we started to see right as the schools were opening really shot up, so it was kind of a perfect storm in September. It was really bad. And it was the Delta variant.”
Two members of the Board of Health, Dr. Brian Reichenbach and Larry Coplen, were also reappointed to serve another term.
Board of Health meeting dates for 2022 are Jan. 17, April 18, July 18 and Oct. 17. All meetings start at 6 p.m. and are held in the Old Courtroom at the Kosciusko County Courthouse.
