LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Health Services Department is now accepting proposals for a temporary public health officer, or PHO, to provide essential public health leadership and service continuity while the county recruits a permanent, full-time PHO.

The individual selected for this role may also be retained as a back-up PHO once the full-time position is filled.

This temporary position is designed to support a primarily remote work model, enabling the temporary PHO to carry out key responsibilities including communicable disease reporting, regulatory oversight, and public health policy review from an offsite location.

Digital communication platforms will be used to ensure consistent engagement with Health Services staff, regulatory agencies and community partners.

Please note: In the event of a Board of Supervisors-declared emergency, the temporary PHO will be required to respond in person within Lake County. On-site leadership will be critical to coordinating with the medical health operational area coordinator, or MHOAC, and aligning response efforts with local, state, and federal systems.
