                                  next

The Indiana General Assembly approved Gov. Eric Holcomb’s plan to improve health outcomes of Hoosiers by providing more resources and better delivery of service. A total of $225 million has been earmarked to directly go toward public health departments that opt-in to the local/state partnership to offer core public health services.

The amount that will come to Jefferson County won’t be determined until it’s known how many counties opt-in since the $225 million will divided among the number of counties that participate. Commissioner David Bramer said the deadline for counties to opt-in is Sept. 1, so the funds should come to the county after the first of year.
