The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has funded a two-year public health apprentice position for the Health District of Northern Larimer County. Chelsea Williams, who started work at the Health District this summer, is one of 65 public health professionals nationwide chosen for the CDC program, which is designed to give future managers broad experience in the day-to-day operation of public health programs. A graduate of the University of California-Berkeley and Tulane University, Williams will divide her time at the Health District between the Dental Health Partnership of Larimer County and the agency’s community obesity initiative.
