The Carroll County Board of Health has been recognized by the Iowa Environmental Health Association (IEHA) for their commitment to the communities they serve. The 2022-23 Outstanding Service Award was presented to the local board this spring during the IEHA Public Health Conference in Ames. Program Director, Maggie Pauley, says the board consists of volunteers who commit a significant amount of time to their operations, including public health programming, environmental health, and home care aides.
