Board calls for new county health officer in Halifax
At the May meeting of the Halifax County Board of Commissioners the panel voted to urge the County Health Board to hire a new County Health Officer, potentially discharging Dr. R. S. McGeachey who has served three years. The grand jury cited delays in responding to calls from the County Home as the reason. Local physicians note McGeachey expanded preventive clinics to seven weekly sessions countywide, affecting immediacy of home calls.
