New Community Health Educator Jennifer Ebert presented to the Riley County Commission for the first time on Thursday.
Ebert is presently working through goals she set when accepting the position working for the Riley County Health Department. Some of these include communicating with every school district in the wildcat region, which also includes Geary and Pottawatomie counties, scheduling town hall meetings and researching and retrieving information about fentanyl poisoning in the region.
Ebert says she is working with school districts to schedule a First Day movie in each community. The health educator position is a grant funded position through a Kansas Fights Addiction grant.
Riley County Commissioners received an update on the North County EMS station Thursday.
EMS/Ambulance Director David Adams says the facility is still expected to be complete by Monday, with a hand-over on or around next Thursday.
Adams says the front door arrived damaged, and a new one has been ordered.
There are still a smaller number of upcoming items to complete, including some IT work, new counter tops, and to begin moving in for the ribbon cutting. The new station should be operational on or around October 16.
The total cost to date is approximately $709,964.79
