Local officials continue to search for a new executive director for Mid-Columbia Center For Living. Wasco County Commissioner Scott Hege is the chair of the regional mental health organization that serves Wasco, Hood River, and Sherman counties. Hege says they have been working for a number of months with various partners to get input on what the organization should look for in a new director. Hege says they are looking for someone with a strong sense of leadership to help lead the effort toward mental health. Hege adds they also need someone with good business sense because of the myriad of funding streams that are used to operate the Center.
