Board of Health Nominations<\/strong><\/p>

Thank you for your interest in your local board of health. Boards of health in Kentucky play an important role in the Kentucky Public Health system including establishing local public health tax rate, hiring the local public health director, and collaborating with the local public health director in the strategic oversight of the local health department. Volunteer board of health members are integral to promoting healthier Kentuckians and healthier communities.<\/p>

On behalf of the Secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), the Commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) appoints members to 118 of the 120 county or city-county boards of health (BOH) pursuant to \u00a0KRS 212.020 and KRS 212.640. Fayette and Jefferson County board members are appointed by the mayor and fiscal court respectively. The composition of a district BOH<\/u> is defined in KRS 212.855.<\/p>

Board of Health appointment terms are for two years beginning January 1 and ending December 31 the following calendar year. There is no restriction on the number of terms an individual may serve, but each member\u2019s term has an end date, and they must be renominated and reappointed for a new term every two years. If a current BOH member fails to be re-nominated their term does not automatically continue.<\/p>
