For 27 years Leslie Campbell has been working with the Pottawatomie County Health Department–but she’s stepping down as director in the near future, taking on a position as a clinic manager with the Riley County Health Department. Pottawatomie County Commission Chair Dee McKee tells KMAN Campbell has been a real asset to the county, with her many responsibilities.
She describes the position as an active one in working with infectious disease, management of shots and screenings, and in working with the schools. More recently the health director has been working with the Stepping Up program involving mental health.
The Commission chair adds she has also appreciated Campbell’s knowledge of grants. Mary Abitz will be serving as interim director as the county advertises to fill the position.
