The St. Clair County Health Advisory Board voted Wednesday to back a staffing shift at the county health department. The plan replaces a nurse practitioner who’s leaving next month with a deputy physician assistant, a move aimed at keeping clinics running and reshaping leadership. Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin says he’ll boost his on-site hours to help fill the gap during hiring, which could take three months. Officials say the change won’t raise costs since it refills an existing job. The proposal will be reviewed in early April.
