Dana Rickley has been Clay County’s Health Administrator for nearly 25 years. Although she is the boss at the health department, that’s not the way she likes to think about it. “They tell me things that they want to do and then I find a way to make it happen and when we work together I become their employee,” Rickley said. Whether it’s checking in patients at a family planning clinic or doing COVID testing during the pandemic, Rickley was there for it all. “I’ve been out there doing the testing when it is snowing,” Rickley said. “I’ve been out there when you have to get the samples outside and then bring them inside because it’s too cold to do the controls.”
