Wayne County Health Board Meeting of July 14, 2026

The Wayne County Health Board meeting held on July 14, 2026, primarily focused on public health updates, including a detailed briefing on a statewide cyclosporiasis outbreak and ongoing clinical and environmental health services. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the potential transition from the current Athena electronic health record (EHR) and billing system to the My Visit platform, which is purpose-built for public health and offers integrated billing and credentialing services. The board reviewed the proposed billing agreement with My Visit, which includes a 10% revenue fee, potentially lower than the current 11.7% with Athena, and voted to authorize moving forward with drafting an agreement for legal review. Financial reports were presented, highlighting various health program budgets and a pending issue with overpaid claims from a former insurer. The meeting also covered updates on environmental health inspections, emergency preparedness training, and upcoming community health events. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but the decision to pursue a new EHR and billing vendor represents a key procurement-related action item.
