The Dent Count Health Center held its monthly meeting Friday, Jan. 16. In attendance were board members Bob Parsons, Bob Gravely, Carol Lacy, Lori Hasten and Dennis Floyd. Also present were Zach Moser, administrator, and Roma Jones, assistant administrator.
The next meeting will be held 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19. The hearing for the Environmental Fees will start first at 5 p.m. This hearing was moved to February due to the public not being adequately notified by the time of the January meeting.
