Montgomery Board of Health earns national accreditation; township highlights upcoming Plan for Health session

A representative of the Board of Health told the committee that Montgomery's Board of Health achieved national accreditation from the Public Health Accreditation Board following a rigorous review. The representative said the designation recognizes the board's commitment to improving community health.

The mayor and staff urged residents to participate in the Plan for Health master-plan reexamination and noted an in-person listening session on October 8 at 7 p.m.; staff also said planning consultant Tara Kenyon will present updates to the planning board and a public hearing on the reexamination is expected later in November.

Committee members congratulated public-health staff on accreditation and encouraged residents to join upcoming listening sessions and surveys that will shape the master-plan update.
