The Regional Medical Director (RMD) for Public Health Region 9/10 provides administrative and medical oversight for regional clinics. In those counties where there is not a physician serving as the local health authority, the RMD serves in that role—currently covering 21 out of the 36 counties in Region 9/10. Health authorities perform duties that are necessary to implement and enforce laws to protect the public’s health. Such duties may include quarantine, inspections, disease prevention activities and outbreak investigations.
