Board of Health

The Ross County Board of Health is comprised of seven members: four are appointed by the District Advisory Council and three are appointed by the Mayor of Chillicothe (with the approval of City Council). Members serve alternating five-year terms and one board member must be a physician. Vacancies are filled in the same manner as the original appointment. Each year the Board of Health elects from its membership a President and a Vice President. Additionally, members serve on committees such as Finance, Ethics, and Environmental Review.

The Ross County Board of Health meets on the third Wednesday of every month. Meetings are held in the Health District Conference Room (150 E. Second St., Chillicothe) and begin at 4:30 p.m. Finance Committee Meetings are the Monday prior to the board meetings at 3 p.m. at our office. Finance Committee meetings and Board of Health meetings are open to the public. Any changes to the meeting schedule are posted on this website and are also advertised in the local media.
