Board of Health Vacancies <br /> <br />Dr. Janet Southerland now resides in Durham County rather than Orange and <br />therefore has created a vacant position on the Board of Health for a dentist <br />representative. <br /> <br />The Committee has received an application for this vacant position from Dr. <br />Jessica Y. Lee. Dr. Lee also has a strong interest in serving on the Board of <br />Health and also has a degree in Public Health. <br /> <br />The Committee is also looking proactively to Board members whose terms of <br />service are ending June 30, 2003 in order to anticipate recruitment for those <br />vacancies in a timely manner. <br />
