# Board of Health Meeting - 10/26/2026

The Mohave County Board of Health meeting on October 26, 2026, included updates on county health programs and operations. The Department of Public Health described its five-year Rural Health Transformation Program, funded by CMS/HHS, with nearly $2.2 million allocated to Mohave County overall and a $543,440 first-year award. The county’s contract is through the Arizona Department of Health Services; the grant supports chronic disease and maternal/fetal health initiatives. Board members asked staff to pursue adding Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley to eligible service areas, but no formal vote was taken on that request. Staff also reported that the county is transitioning immunization billing in-house, with some insurer billing arrangements complete and others pending; procurement staff are assisting, and no additional position is planned for the transition.

The board received an update on bringing medical examiner services back in-house. Design and construction procurement for the Horizon Avenue facility have been completed, construction is underway, and recruitment has begun for a medical examiner services manager; no project cost or contract award was stated. The board approved its August 28, 2026 meeting minutes and the 2027 meeting schedule. The Learn the Beat CPR program was described as volunteer-run and without a county budget. No new procurement award or spending motion was identified at this meeting.
