(KMZA)--A new Marshall County health officer has been appointed.
The Marshall County Commission on a 2-1 vote last week approved the appointment of Dr. Nancy Zidek with Onaga-based Community HealthCare to be the county health officer for the remainder of 2021.
Commissioner Barbara Kickhaefer cast the dissenting vote, saying she preferred to have a health officer who was a resident of the county.
Zidek lives in Pottawatomie County. She regularly serves patients at the Frankfort Clinic in Marshall County, which is part of the Onaga hospital system.
Zidek will replace Dr. John Ryan, who recently retired from Community Memorial Healthcare in Marysville and resigned his post as county health officer.
