Commissioner Kevin Van Winkle appointed to fill vacancy on Douglas County Board of Health

Your Douglas County Board of Health has a new voice through the appointment of Commissioner Kevin Van Winkle to fill a recent vacancy.  The Board of County Commissioners approved the appointment through a resolution at their Tuesday, Dec. 17 Business Meeting.

Commissioner Van Winkle was elected in November but appointed and took the oath of office a month early, on Dec. 17, 2024, to fill the vacancy left by the immediate resignation of his District III predecessor.

While creating the Health Department in 2021, Commissioners passed a resolution that two Commissioners would sit on the Board of Health alongside five county residents. Commissioner Van Winkle joins Commissioner George Teal on the Board of Health.

While serving as a Colorado State Senator, Van Winkle was one of the early advocates for Douglas County leaving Tri-County and forming its own health department. In March 2020, he and other Republican state lawmakers sent a letter to the Board of County Commissioners, urging them to leave Tri-County.

“I appreciate the appointment,” said Van Winkle. “I look forward to serving the people of Douglas County.”

The Douglas County Health Department was created and inspired by you and your community who continuously rank among the healthiest in the nation. Learn about services and resources available to you on our webpage.
