Essex Co Names Temp Dir for PUblic Health Dept.

Essex County has named a temporary director for its Public Health Department and promoted the staff of the agency’s Women-Infants-Children Program to full time.

Public Health Assistant Director Deborah Endsley will become acting director of the department until a replacement for Kathryn Abernethy is hired. The Press Republican reports that Abernethy is retiring at the end of the month, and a search for her replacement is expected to take several months.
