The Miami County Health Department has a new director and you probably know her. Christena Beer has been named the new Miami County Health Director. She previously served the Health Department as Assistant Health Director and Nurse Epidemiologist. Beer is replacing longtime Miami County Health Director, Rita McKoon. McKoon and fellow health department employee, Ann Yackle, retired in December after a combined 78 years of service to the County. Beer was announced as the new health director at the Dec. 29th Miami County Commission meeting. She says she appreciated the opportunity to serve.
Commission Chairman, Rob Roberts, expressed his support of Beer and asked her to keep them up to date on the needs of the Health Department via a monthly meeting and reminded her it was important for her and her staff to know that the Commission had their backs.
