District Health Department No. 4 has been searching for a new public health nurse for Hillman Community Schools since the beginning of January, proving a challenge for the Health Department.
The former public health nurse was hired on Oct. 13 but resigned at the end of December, taking the staff for the School Wellness Program to zero.
At its July meeting, the Health Department Board approved the Hillman School Wellness Program, which provides funding for the Health Department to hire two grant-funded health workers who will work in the school district.
The Health Department has also been searching for a social worker for the wellness program, but since the grant money was received around the same time as the former nurse's hiring, none have been found.
