FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - Dr. Lynne M. Saddler, who has worked in public health in Florida, will become the new director of district health for the Northern Kentucky Health Department.
She will take her new position on Sept. 1, according to a health department release announcing her employment.
Saddler comes to the area after serving as the assistant county public health department director in Polk County, Fla. She held that position since 2002.
The Northern Kentucky Health Department serves Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton counties. As director, Saddler will oversee 197 employees and a budget of more than $16 million.
Saddler’s experience in public health and management of public agencies makes her a good choice, said Dr. Jonathan Rich, chairman of the Northern Kentucky District Board of Health.
The department’s former director, Dr. Steven R. Katkowsky, died in March. George A. Moore II has served as interim director.
