On Monday, Wabash County Board of Commissioners Chairman Scott West and Mt. Carmel Mayor Joe Judge signed proclamations to honor April 1st-7th as Public Health Week.

Health Department administrator Judy Wissel said she has challenged WCHD staff to “give back” this week as the department is collecting donations for the Lunch Wagon. She also said there’ll be social media posts this week about public health and that “we are so much more than COVID”.
