The Marshall County Council discussed adding full-time position for a health educator/emergency preparedness coordinator when they met this week.
Health Administrator Christine Stinson explained that the person in the department would assist in her department and with Emergency Management Agency Director Clyde Avery. She said a local health maintenance fund grant along with the emergency preparedness grant will help fund this position with the rest coming from the health department’s budget.
There was a health educator position a few years ago, but there wasn’t a job description available so Stinson wrote one for this proposed position.
The council approved the position with a pay of $36,800.
