The Martin County Health Department is proud to announce that assistant director Deanna Muncy has graduated from the Kentucky Public Health Emerging Leadership Institute (KY-PHELI).

KY-PHELI is a leadership development program designed to prepare emerging public health professionals for leadership roles across Kentucky. Through the program, participants engage in advanced training focused on leadership, communication, collaboration, and public health practice.

Over the course of the program, Muncy joined public health professionals from across the Commonwealth to strengthen her leadership skills, broaden her professional network, and explore innovative approaches to addressing public health challenges.

“We’re proud of her dedication to leadership development and public health excellence,” health department officials said. “Thank you for all you do for our community.”
