Franklin county commission supports Linderman as health department chief

            Franklin county commissioners have agreed to support making Marsha Linderman the permanent director of the Franklin county health department.

Miss Linderman also serves as director of the Health department in Gulf County; she has been working as interim director in Franklin County for the past 7 months.

Because of state budget cuts to the public health system, it’s becoming more common for health departments in neighboring counties to share leadership.

The Franklin county health department has been without a permanent director for over a year and a half.

Commissioners said they think Mrs Linderman has done a good job while she has served as interim director and they have received no complaints from the public.

The board agreed Tuesday to send an official request to the State Department of Health to make her permanent director.
