Lack of interest in JeffCo health officer position

Since Jefferson County’s long term health officer’s contract was not renewed last September, the county has been served by Sandy Sacry, a Health Board member and nurse, who had agreed to take on the position on an interim basis. 

Meanwhile, the Health Board has been looking for a permanent replacement, but Sacry is the only person to express an interest in the position, according to Public Health Department Coordinator Molly Carey at the Jan. 12 Board meeting. 

Health Board Chairperson Christina Binkowski said the Board had advertised in Whitehall and Boulder, as well as contacted those in the medical field, but there was no interest or response.
