The Health Officer must maintain effective relationships with elected and un-elected governmental officials and entities, and with the leaders in the business, labor and medical communities. These relationships are necessary to carry out the legal responsibilities of the Health Officer and the Board of Health to protect and promote public health. These duties are implemented either by the direct provision of services by the local public health and community health operations of the Department, and through the influence of other agencies and individuals in the community.
This position will be based in the BEDHD's Charlotte, MI office, but will be expected to work throughout Barry and Eaton counties as job requirements dictate, including spending significant time at the BEDHD's Hastings, MI office. The Health Officer leads a team of nearly 50 employees and manages a budget of over $7 million, overseeing a wide range of public health programs and initiatives with local, regional, and national scope.
