Wayne County Health Board Meeting of June 9, 2026

The Wayne County Health Board meeting held on June 9, 2026, primarily focused on public health updates, including water safety education, clinical services reports, and environmental health inspections. Significant procurement-related discussions included the upcoming capital improvements and maintenance needed for the new health department building, such as painting, HVAC repairs, flooring replacement, and installation of security systems like prox card readers and cameras. The board also discussed the implementation of a new electronic health record and billing system called My Visit, which would involve a revenue-sharing agreement of 10% with the vendor. Additionally, the board reviewed a proposed policy to improve the payment process for death certificates to prevent revenue loss, with plans to refine the payment system to allow credit card use and upfront payments. The board approved a $25,000 emergency preparedness grant for the upcoming fiscal year to fund staff training and equipment. No formal contract awards or vendor selections were finalized during the meeting, but several action items related to procurement and budgeting were identified for follow-up.
