The Delaware County Board of Health has named Melissa Lyon to lead the county’s first health department, expected to make its debut in January.
The board’s vote, at a special meeting Thursday night, was met with applause. Lyon spent the last eight years as public health director in Erie County. Before her tenure there, she spent time in New York state as a site manager for medical research as well as public health planner with the Chautauqua County Health Department.
