The Hamilton County Health Board has selected Jason LeMaster as the Health Department’s new administrator. LeMaster replaces Barry McNulty, who passed away in December.
LeMaster has been in public health for 27 years. He has served as the Director of Environmental Health for the past 24 years. In that capacity, he has overseen restaurant inspections, water quality, on-site sewage disposal, and mosquito control. His department is also responsible for testing public swimming pools and private wells. LeMaster has served as the department’s interim administrator for the past several months.
“In addition to his skills and experience, Jason also has a passion for the health and safety of the residents of Hamilton County,” said Health Board President Charlotte Boden.
“I am humbled and honored to continue my career with the Hamilton County Health Department,” LeMaster said. “I know I am filling big shoes; but look forward to the challenges ahead. I’m proud of our department and our commitment to making public health a priority for the residents of Hamilton County.”
LeMaster is a Ball State University graduate. He lives in Frankton.
