Employees thank Mock
Employees at 805 Newtown Circle gathered Wednesday, April 24 to show appreciation for Sam Mock’s consistent hard work, and especially for the initiative he took during the previous week’s storm, which delayed the health department’s opening time. Mock posted signs in the clinic waiting room and talked to patients about the altered clinic hours. Employees presented Mock with a certificate of appreciation, cake and his favorite Gatorade drink.
Employees ‘paws’ to share pics of their pets
Lexington-Fayette County Health Department employees took time to share pictures of their own pets in order to help LFCHD’s Communications Office build a social media campaign to promote Environmental Health’s annual low-lost Rabies Vaccination Clinic. This year’s clinic will be held 6-9 p.m. Thursday, May 9, at Third Street Fire Station.
Keep an eye on Healthy Times for more pet pictures next week…
