2024-2025 Leadership Defiance County September Class

In October, our 2024-2025 Leadership Defiance County class had a great day dedicated to education. We kicked off the day hearing from Phil Nofziger, Director of LifeWise Academy, and Dr. Richanne Mankey, President of Defiance College. Following these insightful presentations, we divided into six groups to visit local schools, gaining firsthand experience of the educational landscape in our community. We then heard from Dr. Todd Hernandez, President of Northwest State Community College, before concluding with a presentation by Superintendent Jeff Slattery from Four County Career Center. It was an inspiring day filled with valuable insights into our educational institutions!

Defiance County Health Department Open House 10/17

We’re excited to invite you to our Open House at the Defiance County Health Department on Thursday, October 17th! We have two convenient time options for you to drop by: 8:00-11:00 a.m. or 2:00-4:00 p.m.


This is a wonderful opportunity to meet our staff, tour our office, and learn more about the important work we do to support our community's health and well-being.


During the morning session, you can also join us for Coffee with a Cop—a chance to enjoy casual conversation over a cup of coffee and donuts with local law enforcement.


If you plan to attend the afternoon session, don’t miss our Health Commissioner, Jamie Gerken, as she shares her thoughts and updates at 3:00 p.m.


Both sessions will include light refreshments and an exciting chance to win door prizes!


We hope to see you there and look forward to spending time with you. Please feel free to share this invitation with others who might be interested.
