Division:
Office of the Director / Nicole Thomsen, Public Affairs & Policy Manager 

Background

On January 1, 2023, the Health District integrated into County operations and became the Snohomish County Health Department. With that came the re-creation of the Board of Health under the County. This board is comprised of nine members, including four public members representing public health, health care facilities, healthcare providers, and a consumer of public health.

 

Julie Smith was appointed to the community stakeholder position for a term of two years ending December 31, 2024 (Exhibit A). The 2-year term was assigned to establish a staggered rotation within the community voices members. 

 

In compliance with SCC 2.300.120, Ms. Smith is eligible for a second term of four years in length. Recommendations will be forwarded to County Executive for consideration and potential County Council re-appointment.
