Bebout stepping down as CCHD director

Christian County Public Health Director Kayla Bebout announced at Monday night’s Board of Health meeting that she’s resigning, effective July 16.

Fiscal Court Magistrate Rich Liebe serves on the board and says Bebout announced her resignation after a period of closed session for personnel matters.

Devin Brumfield was appointed interim director until a permanent replacement is chosen.

An executive committee composed of Dr. Joe Dempsey, Charles Turner, Amy Maternowski and Bob Pickerel was appointed to participate in the selection of the next director.

They will eventually make a recommendation to the Board of Directors.

Bebout has served as director of the Christian County Health Department since June of 2017.
