DAC
In addition to appointing board members, the DAC brings recommendations and health issue concerns to the Board’s attention. The council is composed of the chairman of each township’s board of trustees or a designee, the mayor of each village and the president of the Morgan County Board of Commissioners. The DAC meets at least once a year, usually in March.
Monthly Meetings
The Board of Health for the Morgan County General Health District meets monthly on the third Thursday of each month at 8:00 a.m. in the Health Department’s second floor conference room. The meetings are open to the public and there is a time allocated at the beginning of every meeting for public participation. Board meeting dates occasionally change due to holidays and other events. If you are planning on attending, please call 740-962-4572 to verify location and start time.
