Pender commissioners make Health Board change

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Pender County is looking for a new health department head, but the search to replace an outgoing Board of Health member was much shorter. Commissioners have voted to replace Roberta Bost, who requested in writing for the process to move forward.

Last month Bost wrote she enjoyed most of her time on the board, but recently, “The Board of Health has taken the easy rather than the hard and high road.”

Bost, who worked her way up to Director, served beyond her three-year term and waited until someone had expressed interest in the position. Nurse Terri King becomes the board’s newest member.
