County approves appointment of new health officer
Douglas County will appoint Dr Jennifer Schrimsher as health officer after the Lawrence Douglas County Health Board approved the transition. Schrimsher, deputy health officer for about a year, will take over from Dr Thomas Marcellino who chairs the medical consultant role and will resign as health officer after a decade of service. Schrimsher and Marcellino will share duties under new contracts as the county nears a move from red to yellow in the COVID 19 transmission indicators.
