We recently learned that Terry Meek, the Health Systems Coordinator at the Iowa Department of Public Health will be retiring January 2, 2019. Terry began her work in in the Heart Disease and Stroke program in 2009 and has been an active participant in the CVH Network Leadership team during that time. We will miss her insights and commitment. However, we are thrilled that she is beginning this next great adventure. Public health in Iowa is better because of her dedication to her profession. We wish her the best of everything.
