Board of Health Members
The department is governed by a 13-member board with representatives from all five counties. By statute, there must be a commissioner and public-spirited citizen from each county. In addition, each board must have a doctor and dentist as members. Meetings are held quarterly in the health department office in Auburn. Public notices are printed in the official newspapers of the county prior to the meetings. If you have questions or concerns and are unable to attend a meeting, contact your county board member or the health department.
