New health department board named

Following a decision to dissolve the former San Juan Basin Health Department board, Archuleta County Commissioner Bob Moomaw and La Plata County Commissioner Kelly Hotter named new members of the retooled board June 5.

According to Moomaw, he will sit on the board as the Archuleta County Representative, while commissioner Joelle Riddle will represent La Plata County.

County Commissioner representation was also a facet of the former board structure.

In addition to Moomaw and Riddle, Archuleta County Manager Greg Schulte will serve a one-year term, while La Plata County Manager Shawn Nau will also serve a one-year term.

According to the commissioners’ decision, former board chair Dr. Mark Wienpahl will rejoin the board as a community representative, as will former board vice chair Bob Ledger and Bill Willson. Ledger and Willson will also serve as community representatives.
