Health Department thanks Kate Lewis for 31 years of service Kate Lewis
Highland County Health Department
This month, Kate Lewis is retiring from the Highland County Health Department after 31 years as a public health nurse.
Chances are, if your child got an immunization from the health department over the last 30 years, Kate had a hand in it. She also managed our Bureau for Children with Medical Handicap Program, where she has helped hundreds of families work through supporting children in our community with special medical needs.
Kate will be missed not only as a nurse, but also as a teacher. We have all learned so much from her and appreciate all that she has given to us.
