Holst Starts Work In Area

The Richland County Health Department is excited to welcome Maci Holst as the county’s new health educator and cancer control coordinator. Holst is currently a senior student in Community Health and Gerontology at Montana State University - Bozeman. She will spend her summer working at the Richland County Health Department, graduate after her last semester at MSU in the fall and then return to Sidney to start her full-time position.

When the graduate of Sidney High School returns in January, she will work on a health promotion campaign focusing on school children. Her goal is to increase students’ well being during the winter months by providing fun, family-friendly activities that students can do no matter what the weather brings.

She will also coordinate the Comprehensive Cancer Program and worksite wellness programs.

Judy LaPan, administrator of the Richland County Health Department, noted, “Maci brings a high level of expertise and enthusiasm to this position. She has creative ideas to make Richland County a better place for all of us to live.”

Holst said, “There are so many great things about Richland County. I can’t wait to make it even better.”
