Wayne County Health Board Meeting of October 13, 2026

The Wayne County Health Board meeting on October 13, 2026, covered public health operations, finances, staffing, and program updates. The board approved the 340B audit report and changes to program guidelines. It also voted to move forward with MyVisit (Track My Solution Inc.) as the health department’s electronic medical record and billing system. The medical-record component is state-funded; billing services would cost 10% of insurance reimbursements, compared with the current Athena rate of 11.2%. The proposed agreement allows termination with 60 days’ notice, and the department plans to transition gradually while retaining Athena during the changeover. The board also supported the administrator’s preference for a motorized mobile health unit rather than a truck-and-trailer configuration; no purchase amount was stated.

The administrator reported that Health First Indiana budgets were on track, with carryover expected, and discussed two proposed community health worker positions under a five-year grant, subject to annual funding applications. The department’s self-dispensing 340B program is preparing to begin its six-month operational period with RX Fusion on November 1. A possible agreement to conduct lead inspections for Jay County remains preliminary and would return to the board if developed. Other financial reporting included $302,600 in health-fund revenue for January through September, excluding 340B-related funds; no additional spending or procurement action was identified for that report.
