Gilliam County To Leave NCPHD

Gilliam County is leaving North Central Public Health District.  The Gilliam County Court voted to form its own health department to start on July 1.  County Commissioner Pat Shannon, who is also on the NCPHD Board of Health, said the health community in his county felt the distance involved made it difficult to get the services they feel they should be getting.  Shannon added a feasibility study determined the County could provide those services more efficiently.  North Central Public Health District was formed in 2009 by Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties, forming the state’s only three-county public health district.  Board of Health Chair and Wasco County Commissioner Kathy Schwartz said the Oregon Health Authority will work with Gilliam County to move forward with developing their programs.
