The Clark County Board of Health is giving folks a bit more time to throw their hats into the ring for a volunteer gig that could shape the future of public health in their community. To ensure representation from the educational sector, the board has extended its application deadline for a seat on the Public Health Advisory Council. If you're keen on making a difference and have ties to the education world, you might want to listen up.
The selected volunteer will join the council effective immediately and serve through September 30, 2027, according to information released by Clark County Public Health. Meetings are a virtual affair on Zoom from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on the fourth Tuesday of every month except for December, because everyone needs a break now and then. Every three months, the council switches it up with an in-person meeting that hops between locations across the county.
The Public Health Advisory Council is where the rubber meets the road: they review crucial health needs within Clark County and come up with recommendations for the Board of Health to boost overall community health and wellbeing.
